God’s Love is Not Worldly Love

As I journey through the scriptures I’m constantly reminded that God’s love is completely different than worldly love. So, I’m not a bit surprised how many look to this world for their information about what love is. Because as you look at societies today many have fallen for these twisted snares easily found. I continue to see the decline in morality, in family values and GODLY LOVE. The Scriptures read;

And we have come to know and believe
the love that God has for us. God is love;
whoever abides in love abides in God,
and God in Him.

1 John 4:16

From the scriptures we learn, God is love. Which makes perfect sense when we read the scripture which states;

For God so love the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that
whoever believes in Him should
not perish but have everlasting
life. For God did not send His Son
into the world to condemn the
world, but the world through
Him might be saved.

John 3:16,17

God sent His only Son to save the world from these worldly temptations, twisted snares and ideologies. But many are so worldly that they’ve separated themselves from God since they choose to live their lives according to what the world instructs instead of what God says.

How can one know if they’re living in worldly love? The scriptures provide information, which reads;

1 John 2:16 – 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.

Romans 8:5-8 – Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.

Galatians 5:19-21 – Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: Sexual immorality, impurity, indecent behavior, idolatry, witchcraft, hostilities, strife, jealousy, out bursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

From these scriptures alone, it’s pretty clear that those who choose to live worldly lives are NOT inline with God’s ways. Because the flesh is hostile to God laws. In other words, those who choose to focus on anything other than God does not have His love in them. And as we see more and more deterioration in the world, in society, believers are aware that we are drawing closer to the Day of the Lord. The scriptures read;

2 Timothy 3:1-5 – But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!

Of course, it’s up to each of us to decide, follow God or follow the ways of this world!

      Good evening to you. God is Holy and sin cannot go before Him. Jesus Christ came to bare our sins if we turn Him, repent of our wickedness and believe in Him as the Christ and believe in the one who sent Him.

      We see ourselves through our eyes, but, when one begins to see themselves through God’s eyes, we see just how wicked and sinful we truly are.

      Hope this helps, God bless you…Robin

        And yet this god works repeatedly with satan, Robin, so your claims seem to be quite false per yourown bible.

        again, christians don’t agree on what this god supposedly considers a sin. It seems that the only one claiming sin is the humans who want to control others.

              Good morning to you. If Christians read their Bible than they know exactly what sin is. If they go to a Church that actually preaches the Good News, then they know what sin is. But, there are those who claim the label of a Christian and unfortunately they live a life that is worldly. The Bible is very clear, unless you’ve been born again, unless you’ve repented of your sins, unless you Believe in the Lord Jesus and the One who sent Him, follow Jesus and do His will, we will not have any part of the Kingdom. God bless you and have a wonderful Day…Robin

                That is quite false, Robin, since I know that christians pick and choose what they want to claim is “sinful”. You invent reasons to ignore the parts you don’t want to follow, like when jesus says that all of his/his father’s laws are to be followed until earth etc passes away.

                As always, Robin, you think only your version of christianity is the the right one, and thus attack other christians and claim they are wrong, when you have yet to show you are right.

                Unsurprisingly, this god has yet to do anything at all. including bless me or anyone else. Your claims fail yet again, Robin.

                  Good evening to you. True we are to follow them, but, here’s the difference. We follow them because we’ve been given a new heart and a new Spirit. And it’s that Spirit that ensures we keep them. It doesn’t rely on the Old Testament way of keeping the law, by man keeping them. We walk by faith not by sight. But God’s Spirit is what ensures we walk in His ways.

                  So yes, we are to keep the law. Thank you for the comment and God bless.

                    And unsurprisinglyh, Robin, you don’t follow those laws in your bible. By your own words, you must not have a new heart or spirit at all.

                    I don’t see you killing people for daring to work on the sabbath. I don’t see you killing people for not agreeing with your religion. You are to killl disobedient children.
