Theme : " Attachment to the current world places us in a state of false security " Text : 1 John 2:13-17
13. I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, little children, because you have known the Father. 14. I have written to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I wrote to you, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God dwells in you, and you have overcome the evil one. 15. Do not love the world, nor the things that are in the world. If someone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him; 16. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but of the world. 17. And the world passes away, and its lust also; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Let's remember:
The false security from this world will pass. It is ephemeral and lacks consistency because it is based on nothingness. There is nothing good that can bind us to this world. As long as we are attached to this world and its pleasures, we will never go to the Father's house; we will not enter the eternity foreseen by God. The security of this world is like a house of cards that can easily crumble without resistance. Therefore, do not love not the world, nor the things that are in the world. If someone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Thus, the apostle John exhorts the fathers who have known the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. Every father who has known God should not seek security in the things of this world. Likewise for young people who have overcome the evil one; that they stay connected to the Lord Jesus and not seek safety in the world. This also applies to little children, because they have known the Father. Seek true security in God. Excellent Sunday. Amen Alain Louz.-
