Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.
If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1 John 2:15, 16
"At the very outset of the Christian life every believer should be taught.... that he is not merely to be saved by Christ's sacrifice,
but that he is to make
---the life of Christ his life
---and the character of Christ his character."
E.G.W.
