Don’t be tricked to think what the world has to offer you is
better than what God has for you. The things of the world may be enticing, but
the pleasures of sin are only pleasures for a short time, and all of them have
a price you have to pay. The biggest price is choosing these things instead of
God, and losing out on heaven. It is a choice we all have to make. Make a good
choice!
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the
world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all
that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the
pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth
away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for
ever." - 1 John 2:15-17
Jesus said, "If ye love me, keep my commandments."
- John 14:15
When we repent of our sins - turning our back on the world
(sin) to live for God, we are baptized in Jesus name for the forgiveness of
sins, and are filled with His Spirit, we become born of God. By our new birth, living
for God with our WHOLE heart, we have the power to overcome the world. (Acts
2:38, John 3:5, Acts 1:8, Galatians 5:19-21).
"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world:
and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." - 1
John 5:4
"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome
them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."
- 1 John 4:4
