God does not mince words. The world is run by His enemy, and things are not operating according to God’s original intent. God does not want us in love with this world. The Scripture above lists what is associated with this world: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. All these things will take us away from the Father, and these things are what caused the Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden. God, being the good Father that He is, is simply looking out for His children. He simply desires to keep us from sharing the same fate as Adam and Eve. We do not have to fall and get out of relationship with our Heavenly Father. We can simply come out from among them (the world) and stay separate (II Corinthians 6:17). In doing so, this will cause God to be a Father to us and keep us unblemished by this world. These two things will not only cause us to succeed in the things of God, but in accomplishing everything that He has preordained for us to walk in.
