1 John 2:15-17.
a) 1 John 2:15. We should not love the World system or anything in it. If anyone loves the World system love for the Father is not in them.
b) 1 John 2:16. Everything in the World system does not come from the Father, it comes from the World:-
1-Lust of the flesh.
2-Lust of the eyes.
3-Pride of Life.
c) 1 John 2:17. The World system and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lasts for ever.
(This QT reminds me of My Attitude Towards The World System)
----------
'No More Tears Or Sadness.'
Revelation 21:4.
a) In Heaven God will wipe away every tear from our eyes.
b) In Heaven the old order of things will pass away.
c) In Heaven there will be no more:-
1-Death.
2-Mourning.
3-Grief.
4-Pain.
(This Second one reminds me that Heaven is a place of No More Tears Or Sadness)

Chris.
Everything in the World system does not come from God. Lust and pride come from the hearts of humanity. God, through the Cross and Resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ has made a way of Freedom and Deliverance from the World system. This means that although most of us live in the World system we are not of the World system.
