Summary: You can’t love the world and love God at the same time. And it is hard to love others when we’re busy loving the things of this world and buying into the constant temptations to meet our every self-centered need. We love the world for what it can offer us in return. We give it our time, attention and affections, because it promises to make us happy, fulfilled, successful, popular, and satisfied. But love for God is other-oriented. It focuses on the needs of others.
