LEARNING<br />

TOGETHER<br />

READ 1 JOHN 2:15-17.<br />

Do not love the world or<br />

anything in the world. If anyone<br />

loves the world, love for the<br />

Father is not in them. For<br />

everything in the world—the lust<br />

of the flesh, the lust of the eyes,<br />

and the pride of life—comes not<br />

from the Father but from the<br />

world. The world and its desires<br />

pass away, but whoever does the<br />

will of God lives forever.<br />

READ EPHESIANS 2:19-20.<br />

Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s<br />

people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and<br />

prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.<br />

Are there any second-class citizens in God’s kingdom?<br />

What does it mean to love the world? What does it mean that the love of the Father is<br />

not in us if we love the world?<br />

What rights and privileges go along with being part of someone’s household? What<br />

are the responsibilities and requirements that go along with being part of someone’s<br />

household?<br />

Lust of the flesh is probably self-explanatory. What is lust of the eyes? What about pride<br />

of life?<br />

What does it mean that Jesus is the chief cornerstone?<br />

How does verse 17 reinforce the importance of living for God?
