"Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever." 1John 2:15-17 NLT
We are to love people, they are meant to be eternal. Jesus came to save us sinners and give us eternity as a free gift. All we need to do is ask for forgiveness and accept Him in our heart. Once we pray to receive Christ, He sends the first installment of the Holy Spirit as part of our inheritance. The love of things like houses, cars, clothes and other toys, are a waste of our time here on earth. Of course these things are fun & useful & God can use us in all sorts of socio-economic settings as He sees fit. But God has a plan for all of us here on earth. Turn to His word daily to hear the Lords sweet words of love and wisdom on how to live your life. Don't listen to the ways of man for they are foolish when compared to the Lords. Seek wisdom and it will be given to you.
