THE CORRECT VIEW OF THE WORLD (3)

THE CORRECT VIEW OF THE WORLD (3)!

In this series so far, I have informed you as revealed in the Bible, the view of GOD of the WORLD thus:

that the WORLD is out of COURSE (order and purpose) from God's original intentions and plan, but brought back again on COURSE (order and purpose) only in JESUS CHRIST. That only the things and people in Christ are back again on COURSE (order and purpose) in the WORLD. (Colossians 1). Read more from write up (1).

that the WORLD is a FIELD of sowing and reaping of good and evil human seeds (beings) that will be harvested (raptured) someday by the Angels of the Lord at Jesus Christ's second coming. (Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43). Read more from write up (2).

For today, the Bible reveals that the view of God of the WORLD is that only three (3) things drives the thinking, speaking and living style (of the people) of the WORLD:

1. the lust of the FLESH.
This is, lustful desire (drive) related to sex, food, drink, clothing, etc without self-control or restrain because of lack of the fear of God like Joseph did. (Genesis 39; Romans 1:18-32).

Jesus Christ says LIFE is more than meat (food) and the BODY more than raiment (cloth). That these are the things the gentiles (unbelievers) do seek daily, but you and I in Him should seek first the Kingdom of God (Holy Spirit) and his righteousness and all these things will added unto you and I in this WORLD. Halleluyah! (Luke 12:22-40; Matthew 6:24-34; Galatians 3:13,14; Luke 18:28-30).

2. the lust of the EYES.
This is, lustful desire (drive) related to focusing, looking, staring, gazing, etc without self-control or restrain because of the fear of God like Apostle Paul and Job did. (Philippians 3: 13,14; Job 31:1; Genesis 39:7; Matthew 5:27, 28).

Jesus Christ says the EYE is light of the BODY. That you and I should let our EYES be single (by us focusing on the good things of God in this World laying up our treasures in heaven and not on earth through investing heavily our time, talents, money and possessions on good things like giving to the poor and needy, executing your divine assignment (purpose) in Christ, supporting programmes and projects, etc that promote the Kingdom of God on earth). That if we let our EYES to be single in that regard, our whole BODY will be full of light because our hearts will be in heaven and not on earth, but if our EYES be evil (by focusing and investing heavily on other things of the WORLD other than the good things of God that promotes the Kingdom of God), our whole BODY will be full of darkness because our hearts will be on earth and not in heaven. That we cannot serve two masters, God and mammon (money) at the same. That one must be love over the other. (Matthew 6:19-24; Luke 11:34-36; Colossians 3:1-4; Matthew 25:31-46).

3. the PRIDE of life.
This is, lustful desire (drive) related to class, fame, position, trend, power, possessions, etc without self-control or restrain because of lack of the fear of God like Moses and Jesus Christ did. (Hebrews 11:23-29; Luke 4:1-14).

Jesus Christ says that whosever shall EXALT (lift) himself shall be ABASED (lowered), and he that shall HUMBLE himself shall be EXALTED. (Matthew 23:8-12; James 4:5-10; 1 Peter 5:5-7; Proverbs 16:18).

Therefore, God commands that YOU and I, who He has separated from the WORLD to Himself in Christ, to LOVE NOT THE WORLD neither the THINGS that are IN THE WORLD. That if we love the WORLD and the things in the WORLD, the love of Him (our heavenly Father) is not in us. That the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father (God), but is of the WORLD. (1 John 2:15-17).

In fact, He says that You and I's friendship (love) with the WORLD for any reason, makes us His ENEMY. Yes! That is how serious He (God) views our friendship (intimate and lustful relationship) with the WORLD and the things of the WORLD. Yes! (James 4:4-10; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

If you and I say or claim that we are genuine Children of God in Christ in the WORLD, but to what extent:

do you and I love GOD (in Christ) beyond the lust of the FLESH in the WORLD?

do you and I love GOD (in Christ) beyond the lust of the EYES in the WORLD?

do you and I love GOD (in Christ) beyond the PRIDE of LIFE in the WORLD?

God is watching and He wants you right now to get back to your first LOVE with HIM, so that He can help you in the WORLD. That after you have suffered for awhile because the enemy attacks against you in the WORLD, He will certainly, perfect you, stabilise you, strengthen you and settle you. That all you need now, is just to stay PATIENT with HIM in FAITH. For FAITHFUL is HE that called you (from the WORLD) and Who also will do it for you in the WORLD. Halleluyah! (Revelation 2:4,5; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; 1 Peter 5:8-10; Hebrews 6:24; 1 Thessalonians 5:24).

Remember, the WORLD and its LUST in one appointed day of the Lord will pass away and only those who have done the WILL OF GOD will remain forever. The WORLD and all its seeming glamour and pleasure will one faithful day of the Lord cease to exist . What will become of you and your fate then? (1 John 2:15-17; Matthew 7:21-26).

God cannot lie friend. In fact, let all men (including You and I) remain liars, but God remain true forever. It is impossible for God to lie. Impossible! (Titus 1:2; Hebrews 6:18).

All that He has revealed in this write up based on the Bible is an absolute TRUTH of the TRUE state of the WORLD you and I is currently living in. Think about it!

See you tomorrow for another biblical (correct) view of the WORLD.

God bless you.
