Hi TonyX3. Don't stop at verse 15. Read 16 so that you know what the author was talking about when he said don't love the world:

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.

Pcamps is talking about loving other people.

What I'm learning, particularly from this forum, is not how Christians are different from the world - but how much they differ from each other.

I keep picturing the Tower of Babel - chock-full of Christians - each shouting their particular "truth" and doing their best to drown out their immediate, also-hollering neighbours.

All sound & fury - very little substance.

[SAAN]

Christians are set apart as they have been redeemed and forgiven from their sins.
