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?
