1 John 2:15 - 17 (NKJV)
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life - is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Galatians 5:22 - 25 (NKJV)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
1 John 5:11 - 13 (NKJV)
And this is the testimony; that God has given us eternal life, and this life is His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
John 3:16 (NKJV)
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
Abba Father may all that call themselves by the name of Jesus die to ourselves and live for Jesus so that we and those we love will know Your promise of life and life abundantly and the world around us will become a better place; it is is the name of our Lord, our Savior, and our Eternal Promise Christ Jesus that we pray. Amen.
