3. The Persuasiveness of the

World System 1 John 2:15-17

Do not love the world or anything in the

world. If anyone loves the world, love for

the Father is not in them. For everything

in the world—the lust of the flesh, the

lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—

comes not from the Father but from the

world. The world and its desires pass

away, but whoever does the will of God

lives forever.

4. The Power of Satanic Opposition

1. Erosion Revelation 3:15-22

I know your deeds, that you are neither cold

nor hot. I wish you were either one or the

other! So, because you are lukewarm—

neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you

out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have

acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’

But you do not realize that you are wretched,

pitiful, poor, blind and naked.

1. Erosion Revelation 3:15-22

I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in

the fire, so you can become rich; and white

clothes to wear, so you can cover your

shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your

eyes, so you can see. Those whom I love I

rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and

repent.

1. Erosion Revelation 3:15-22

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If

anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I

will come in and eat with that person, and

they with me. To the one who is victorious, I

will give the right to sit with me on my

throne, just as I was victorious and sat down

with my Father on his throne. Whoever has

ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the

churches.”

2. Ruts Exodus 20:4-5

“You shall not make for yourself an image in

the form of anything in heaven above or on

the earth beneath or in the waters below. You

shall not bow down to them or worship them;

for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God,

punishing the children for the sin of the

parents to the third and fourth generation of

those who hate me, but showing love to a

thousand generations of those who love me

and keep my commandments.”

3. Walls 1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 “But, brothers and sisters, when we were orphaned by being separated from you for a short time (in person, not in thought), out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you. For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, did, again and again—but Satan blocked our way. For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you? Indeed, you are our glory and joy.
