1 John 2:15-17 ESV

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

This world is beautiful and it has many loveable things. It's because it has been designed and created by God to be good and beautiful, with the blue sky, the colorful flowers, the cute animals... and kindness, goodness, and love.... They are in this world, but they are of God.

This world also has things God didn't put in the beginning: sin and evil - the.love of the flesh, the love of the eyes, and the vanity of life. They are not of God, but of this world. They are wrong use of the good things God created. If we love them, we love to do things He hate, violate His commandments, and harm His creation with our sinful deeds.

As actions speak louder than words, we can evaluate ourselves and others by checking actions. If we love & do what're of God, we love Him.
