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. (I John 2:15)
Inside us, it is either the love of the world or the love of the Father. We can’t have both, according to the text. This tells us that the love of the Father is a love which replaces the love of the world – only divine love can conquer love for the things of the world.
