  Jesus and in what Jesus has done for them

LOVE FOR THE WORLD
A. How are we to love people and yet not love
the world, when the world is primarily, people?

• We need to stay away from the things of the world
  that keep us from having a saving relationship
  with God

LOVE FOR THE WORLD
B. What does it mean to love the world? I John
