The LORD JESUS said:
John 12:46
King James Version
46 I am come a light into the world,
that whosoever believeth on me
should not abide in darkness.
What is the world really like?
What does the Bible say about the world?
Why are we not to conform to the world?
As born again, I only turn to Scripture.
That I may know GOD's TRUTH.
JESUS warns us about the world:
Matthew 6:24
King James Version
24 No man can serve two masters:
for either he will hate the one, and love the other;
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Matthew 7:13
King James Version
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate:
for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way,
that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat:
Matthew 16:23
King James Version
23 But he turned,
and said unto Peter,
Get thee behind me, Satan:
thou art an offence unto me:
for thou savourest not the things that be of God,
but those that be of men.
John 8:44-45
King James Version
44 Ye are of your father the devil,
and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own:
for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth,
ye believe me not.
John 15:18-19
King James Version
18 If the world hate you,
ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own:
but because ye are not of the world,
but I have chosen you out of the world,
therefore the world hateth you.
John 16:33
King James Version
33 These things I have spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.
Apostles warn us about the world:
Romans 12:1-2
King James Version
12 I beseech you therefore, brethren,
by the mercies of God,
that ye present your bodies
a living sacrifice,
holy,
acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable,
and perfect, will of God.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4
King James Version
3 But if our gospel be hid,
it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God,
should shine unto them.
Ephesians 2:2
King James Version
2 Wherein in time past
ye walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air,
the spirit that now worketh
in the children of disobedience:
Ephesians 5:11-12
King James Version
11 And have no fellowship
with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things
which are done of them in secret.
Ephesians 6:12
King James Version
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities,
against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Colossians 2:8-9
King James Version
8 Beware lest any man spoil you
through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men,
after the rudiments of the world,
and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth
all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Colossians 3:5-6
King James Version
5 Mortify therefore your members
which are upon the earth;
fornication, uncleanness,
inordinate affection, evil concupiscence,
and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God
cometh on the children of disobedience:
Hebrews 13:5
King James Version
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness;
and be content with such things as ye have:
for he hath said,
I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
James 4:4
King James Version
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
know ye not that the friendship of the world
is enmity with God?
whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world
is the enemy of God.
1 Peter 5:8-9
King James Version
8 Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion,
walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith,
knowing that the same afflictions
are accomplished in your brethren
that are in the world.
1 John 2:15-17
King James Version
15 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.
16 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.
17 And the world passeth away,
and the lust thereof:
but he that doeth the will of God
abideth for ever.
1 John 3:1
King James Version
3 Behold,
what manner of love
the Father hath bestowed upon us,
that we should be called the sons of God:
therefore the world knoweth us not,
because it knew him not.
1 John 3:8
King James Version
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil;
for the devil sinneth from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested,
that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1 John 3:10
King James Version
10 In this the children of God are manifest,
and the children of the devil:
whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,
neither he that loveth not his brother.
1 John 3:13
King James Version
13 Marvel not, my brethren,
if the world hate you.
1 John 5:19
King James Version
19 And we know that we are of God,
and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
Revelation 12:12
King James Version
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens,
and ye that dwell in them.
Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea!
for the devil is come down unto you,
having great wrath,
because he knoweth that
he hath but a short time.
Now we see why JESUS was sent:
John 12:47
King James Version
47 And if any man hear my words,
and believe not, I judge him not:
for I came not to judge the world,
but to save the world.
Time to believe in the LORD JESUS.
Acts 16:31
King James Version
31 And they said,
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
For it's all preparation now.
Time to know the world.
For what it really is.
