Those Who Do The Will Of God
Live Forever
I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are
forgiven on account of his name. I am writing to you, fathers, because you know
him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young people, because you
have conquered the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know him who
is from the beginning. I write to you, children, because you know the father. I
write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write
to you, young people, because you are strong and the word of God abides in you,
and you have overcome the evil one.
Do not love the world or the things in the world. The love of the
Father is not in those who love the world; for all that is in the world – the
desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, the pride in riches – comes not
from the Father but from the world. And the world and its desire are passing
away, but those who do the will of God live forever.
1 John 2:12-17
Pornography leaves a trail of broken families, ineffective church
leaders, and men who have lost the respect of their loved ones.
The apostle John warned fathers and sons against: lust of the
flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. True satisfaction is found only
when we give our affections to eternal things – to a right relationship with
our heavenly Father and with those He has created in
His image.
Inner peace springs out of inner purity.
