What did
Jesus say about God and the world?
You cannot
serve two masters: God and money (the world).
If you belong
to the world, the people of the world will love you, but if you do not belong
to the world, its people will hate you.
We cannot
love both God and the world. Foolish pride and selfish desiress prevent us from
loving God and receiving his grace.
We can
avoid loving the world by being humble and praying to God in our humility. We
must admit that we do not have the strength on our own to turn away from
earthly values. We must completely surrender to God and put ourselves in His
hands.
