John gives his readers a rather stark warning. Do not love the world or anything in it. This might seem harsh but John is warning us not to be infatuated with the world of sin and evil that is governed by Satan and works in opposition to God. This infatuation with the world is characterised by 3 elements: what the sinful self desires, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.

What does this mean for us practically? How can we avoid this infatuation with the world?

1 John 2:15-17

Quote “attitude of pretentious arrogance or subtle elitism that comes from one’s view of their wealth, rank, or status in society.” Gary M. Burge, NIV Application Commentary
