Love God or Love the World Part 2 – 1 John 2:16

By Tammy Burke

What’s your most valuable possession?

“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.” 1 John 2:16 ESV 

Do you find that you love the stuff of the world? We’re clearly challenged by many things in the Bible to use our resources to help others see Jesus. They’re really not our resources anyway. Everything came from God and goes back to him. 

Often the stuff I want to own, enjoy or experience can be a trap. God gives it to us to use for his purposes. But when we fall in love with it, we lose out.

What will you do today with the stuff you have? You have time, money, energy, and experience. All of those things can be used to help others see and follow Jesus. We lose out when we hold any of it back. Let that sink in and then take action. What we do because we follow Jesus matters.
