1 John 2:15-29 — Love and Light 04 | An Exhortation to not Love

We are called to love God by turning away from darkness. To love Him is to seek His will, obey His word, and walk in His light.

When John says, “Do not love the world,” he is not speaking of the material world that God made good. We are stewards of creation, called to study and manage it as a reflection of His glory.

It is not wrong to love family or show kindness to unbelievers. The world John warns against is the system that lives for this life without regard for eternity (James 4:4).

To love the world is to share its hopes, values, and comforts (Ephesians 5:11). Our chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. He is the beginning, the sustainer, and the Judge of all.

Let us love God with all our heart, mind, and strength, setting our affection on Him alone. Like Job, may we say, “I know that my Redeemer lives” (Job 19:25–27).
