Don't Love The World

Love the world. Do not love the world.

Do not love the world or anything in the world.
— 1 John 2:15

God so loved the world that he gave his first and his best. Jesus came not to condemn the world but to save it. Shouldn't we go and do likewise? To untangle an apparent contradiction, we have to distinguish between the world system and the people trapped in it. We reject the system and its patterns, but we can only love people who have so far missed The Way of escape.
