1 John (Program #18) – The World and the Things in the World
One of the interesting words in the original language of the New Testament is cosmos. This Greek word is normally translated in the Bible as “world”.
In John 3:16 “For God so loved the world (cosmos) that He gave His only begotten Son..” to save it. Yet in John’s epistle we are told not to love the cosmos, because it’s impossible for us to both love the world and love God the Father at the same time.
The reason that we as believers need to flee and any attachment of the world is that the world is a mask for God’s enemy, Satan.
