Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain 1 John 2:17:
I John 2:15-17
Excerpted from: Faith (Part 4)The second lesson: Saving ones life also pertains to way of life, manner of living. It includes our hopes, our dreams, our aspirations, our traditions, our attitudes and relationships, all of these things that have come from this world, and the world helps to form and make us what we are, in many cases in opposition to God. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God, and this is why John warns in I John 2:15 to love not the world. The world is cosmos. It is the world apart from God. It is human society organized and regulated upon false principles, false values, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, and it is these things that have made us what we are before God calls us and it is these things that we have to repent of and be converted from.
I John 2:16-17
Excerpted from: Ecclesiastes and the Feast of Tabernacles (Part 1)If there is any New Testament verse which summarizes the theme of Ecclesiastes, it is I John 2:17. God calls things that are not as though they are. To God, the world is already dead. Love not the world. It is passing away—a euphemistic approach to that. To God, the world is dead, it is a corpse, it is putrefying, but it has not yet been buried. It is a system that is in the process of self-destructing and it cannot be any other way because men and demons are operating it. It is self-destructing as a result of the course of vanity and meaningless self-centeredness.
