Don't Cling to This World

Good day ladies,

I have a quick but important topic for today. 

"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

(There's that "doing the will of God" again.) 

 

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Romans 12:1-2

Love God first. 

"And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it."
2 John 1:6

And a Psalm to edify...

"I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.

A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.

Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. 

Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me."
Psalm 101:1-6

And yes we have to walk through this world. But we are to be separate and holy for our Lord...because He commands it. 

One day, if we endure obedient and faithful, all around us will be pure and holy. 

How wonderful that will be when all the saints gather for eternity! Christ made the way for us to get there! May we glorify and obey Him. 

Is that what you are living for or for a better life here in this world? Are you written in the Lamb's book of life? 

Love in Christ,

....from a daughter of God
