Everything in THIS world is meaningless because it’s ruled by the devil; for a limited time. This life is only a short test in which we must turn away from the devil and be born again of the Spirit of God. Anyone who does that must reject this world and be rejected by this world. Those who love this wicked world (social construct, injustice, prejudice, etc.) and the things of this world (fleshly pleasures, material possessions, money, etc.), fail the test.
Ecclesiastes 5:10-11 “Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness! The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what good is wealth—except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers!”
- Matthew 6:24 “”No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.
1 John 2:15-17 “Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.”
- Matthew 16:26 ”And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?”
Galatians 6:14-16 “As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died. It doesn’t matter whether we have been circumcised or not. WHAT COUNTS IS WHETHER WE HAVE BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO A NEW CREATION. May God’s peace and mercy be upon all who live by this principle; THEY ARE THE NEW PEOPLE OF GOD.”
