To all Christian God tell us in his words Love not the world.

"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. 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. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." -1st John 2:15-17.

"And 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." -John 6:40

The Bible is not asking us to give up the world to be saved, as some foolishly believe. Certainly, the world is wicked and NO believer should be of the world. However, all that God requires for a person to be saved is simple faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour. The Word of God is warning that a person's love for the world will prevent them from coming to Christ for salvation. Jesus tells us the reason why the unsaved world will not come to Him in John 3:20... "For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."

The world offers sinful pleasures, materialism, and self-gratification; ALL of which are directly opposed to Jesus Christ and the Word of God. God is simply telling us is 1st John 2:15-17 that we need to get saved, and if it's the pleasures of sin that are keeping us from coming to Christ, then we need to forsake the world and come to Christ. This is what Jesus meant in Matthew 5:29-30 when He said it's better to pluck out your eye or cut off your hand, than to go to Hell.

Jesus said a man would be much better off if he were disabled (or crippled), than to be cast into Hell whole. It is one's love for sin that keeps him or her from coming to Jesus. The reason is because you can't be a Christian and truly enjoy sin, not the same way unsaved people can... and unsaved people KNOW IT, which is exactly why they refuse to come to Christ for forgiveness.

99% of the earth's population will ALL be dead 100 years from now. What will anything matter then? What will all of the money, fame, and pleasure in this world matter when we are dead and gone? Are you willing to risk your eternal soul upon the foolish assumption that the Bible is not God's Word? For eternity's sake, you had better be right. Have you ever studied the Bible? It is frightening. The Bible has NEVER been disproved. Don't you think you should at least do a thorough investigation into the matter? Are you afraid you might find the Truth?

Where will you be 100 years from now? You can KNOW for certain (1st John 5:13). You need to get saved friend, i.e., you need to be BORN AGAIN by the Incorruptible Word of God. Please click on "God's Simple Plan" below to learn how simple and free it is to saved.

This world is temporal, but God offers to us "eternal LIFE" through Christ Jesus. What a Wonderful Saviour!
