30.How should we behave in view of the fact that the world system is passing away and Jesus is coming soon? .

Back to Study the Book of First Corinthians

Those who have wives should live as though they had none. Those who weep or rejoice as though they did not weep or rejoice. Those who buy as though they did not possess what they bought. Those who are using the world as not absorbed in it.

The fashion of the world is passing away.

We are not to become entangled in the world. Though we marry, we are not to devote our days to building and furnishing bigger homes for ourselves and our families. Our prime time and energy are to be occupied in the things of the Kingdom of God.

To violate Paul’s recommendations and to allow one’s self to become entangled in the affairs of the world is to run the risk of suffering serious loss in the Kingdom of God.

Our Lord Jesus Christ warned us to remove our heart from the world and to set our affections on our treasures in Heaven—treasures the Lord Jesus will bring with Him at His appearing.
