—1 John 2:12-17
by: Katie Brown.
To love as the world loves is to love yourself over everything else. A common philosophy of the day is to “take what is yours” and to “believe in yourself.” This has been a repeated theme throughout history and was true even in the times of the New Testament saints. To know God’s character and to love God is to be transformed into His image. God’s gift of His Son is a model of selfless love that the world cannot replicate. The promises and temptations of the world are temporary and do not sustain. They who love God and follow His will know God’s incomparable glory.
