Do Not Love the World

1Jn 2:15  Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 

1Jn 2:16  For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 

1Jn 2:17  And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. 

If we love things more than God, then they become idols.  The desires of the worldly  people are focused on things that do not last. The desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes and the pride of life.

Psa 10:3  For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the LORD. 

Psa 10:4  In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, “There is no God.” 

We will leave all these things behind. What treasures do we have in heaven? What are things that will last forever?
