1 John 2:15 · KJV

"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."

King James Version

What does 1 John 2:15 mean? →

Passage Context

13I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
14I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
15Love 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.
16For 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.
17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Devotional Reflection

LovePeaceGratitudeHope

Loving things, especially ones that won't last, can get us into a lot of trouble. Even worse, we can start to think that they will make us happy or fill the empty places in our hearts. But if we really put our hopes and dreams in our Abba Father, we are connected to eternity and always have what we need most.

Prayer

Holy God, grant me the wisdom I need to invest in You and in important things. I'll be the first to admit that flashy, transient things frequently catch my eyes and my heart off guard. Father, make my heart yearn for You by Your Spirit. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

Give me wisdom, Holy God, to invest in You and important things. I admit that the glittery stuff that is fleeting frequently draws my eyes and emotions away. O Father, stimulate my heart to long for You through Your Spirit. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
