Live by the Word of God


1 John 2:16 
For all that is in the world —the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life — is not of the Father but is of the world.

Genesis 3:6.  So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

...1. Good for food - lust of the flesh
...2. Pleasant to the eyes - lust of the eyes
...3. Desirable to make one wise - pride of life (I know it, all)

1 John 2:17.  And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

Prov.22:4  By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life.

.....Doing God's will in humility and fear lasts forever and brings:
1. Riches (flesh's true riches are only found in doing His will)
2. Honor (eyes pleasing God do and gain what honors only Him)
3. Life  (flesh's knowledge in Christ exalts The Lord and not self in pride)
