Do Not Love the World
1 Jn 2:
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.

Matt 7:21 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

(MY NOTE: He/she that does the will of the Father, will enter into the spiritual kingdom of heaven)
Will of the Father:
Jn 6:40 Jesus said; this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

(MY NOTE: The will of the Father is: BELIEVE His sinless Son, Jesus, died for your sins (paying Heavens required wage - Rom 6:23) was buried (proof Jesus died) & that Jesus rose from the grave on the 3rd day - see 1 Cor 15:1-4)
Throughout scripture two kingdoms are revealed: one physical & one spiritual. A few Bible examples:
Cain (1st) offered via his works, was natural
Abel (2nd) offered via faith, was spiritual
Ishmael (1st) born by Abrams & Sarah's works, was natural
Isaac (2nd) born by faith, was spiritual
Esau (1st) was natural
Jacob (2nd) was spiritual
The 1st (Adam) was natural.
The 2nd (Jesus) was spiritual - (1 Cor 15:45-46)
The "lust of the flesh," "lust of the eye," or "pride of life
Scriptures say that Jesus tasted of every temptation that we're faced with.
See here place every temptation that befalls you:
Satan tempts Jesus: Matthew 4:1, Luke 4:2:
1st (lust of the flesh) Jesus was hungry, "If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread"
2nd (lust of the eye) "If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee"
3rd (pride of life) The devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them"
Heb 4:15 Jesus our High Priest. Who can be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; that was tempted like as we are, yet without sin
Satan temps Eve: Genesis 3:6
1st (lust of the flesh) She took of the fruit thereof, and did eat
2nd (lust of the eye) The woman saw that the tree was good for food
3rd (pride of life) A tree to be desired to make one wise
1 Cor 10:13 No temptation taken you but such as is common to man
(MY NOTE: This includes Jesus)
Heb 4:14,15 We have a great high priest, in the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession
(MY NOTE: JESUS is our Great High Priest - Heb 4:4)
1 Jn 2:
1 And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
(MY NOTE: Christ our advocate never slumbers nor sleeps)
2 He is the propitiation for our sins.
(MY NOTE: Propitiation means to make reconciliation/payment through an atoning sacrifice)
This reconciliation/payment is accessed thru faith placed in Christ's death, burial & resurrection (1 Cor 15:1-4)

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.

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to...

After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. And the passover, a feast of the...
