8. Stop doing this!
1 John 2:15 (NASB95)
15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him


9. Stop loving the thing in the world
1. Human society organized and functioning apart from God.

2. Material objects or the things the world has to offer.



10. In the world
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.




11. These led to the first sin
Genesis 3
Serpent can’t eat from all the trees
Eve just not from tree of knowledge we’ll die
Won’t die be like God
Genesis 3:6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.



12. Lust of the flesh
For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.


Galatians 5:19–21 (NET)
19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, depravity, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions, factions, 21 envying, murder, drunkenness, carousing, and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God!




13. Lust of the eyes
The 10th Commandment


You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his servants, his cattle, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.
— Exodus 20:17




14. Lust of the eyes
Looking and lusting
Desiring


All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man.
Mark 7:23



15. Boasting Pride of life
But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil.
-James 4:16
Galatians 5:9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. It’s contagious!

James 3:5 So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!
Ignited by hell itself!




16. Why?
 Not from God
 The world is passing away



17. The prize
but the one who does the will of God lives forever.




18. Overcrowded
John 2:24–28
Part 2. How do I keep from getting spiritually overcrowded?
The pure milk of the word




19. Don’t complicate the Gospel
...let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.



20. Heard
 The true Gospel message
 Not the false or amended
 John’s Gospel Message



21. Like this
John 3 video


22. Pure Gospel
Not man centered
 Special revelation
 Cult
 Another Jesus



23. The same answer as before
This is the promise which He Himself made to us:
ETERNAL LIFE.



24. The reason for this part of 1 John
These things I have written to you concerning those who are
trying to deceive you.



25. Let’s break this down
As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you;



26. Let’s break this down (continued)
but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.



27. The anointing
 Rubbed with oil
 The Holy Spirit



28. A part of your salvation
In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation having believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,




29. The Spirit’s job
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.



30. He is there for the duration
that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.



31. Our down payment on a heavenly home
who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.



32. Finishing up with pure gold
Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.




33. Abide in Him
Live in Him
Let Him live in you



34. No worries
Rapture ready
Confidence



35. Overcrowded
Let the love for Christ overcrowd your soul
Let your love for Him crowd out anything else
