“THIS WORLD HAS NOTHING TO OFFER TO BELIEVERS”
This message aligns with the clear teaching of Scripture: the believer’s hope is not anchored in this present world, but in what God has prepared beyond it.
The Word of God declares plainly:
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world… the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.” — 1 John 2:15,17 (KJV)
This world offers pleasure, riches, and pride—but all of it is temporary. It is corrupted by sin and under judgment. What it gives, it also takes away. It cannot satisfy the soul, nor can it save a man from death and eternity.
Jesus Himself said:
“My kingdom is not of this world.” — John 18:36 (KJV)
If our King is not of this world, then His people are not to live as though this world is their home. We are strangers and pilgrims here.
“THAT’S WHY WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE BLESSED HOPE”
The believer’s expectation is not in earthly systems, but in a divine promise:
“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;” — Titus 2:13 (KJV)
This blessed hope is the return of Jesus Christ—His appearing, His kingdom, His glory.
The early church lived with this urgency. They were not building their lives on sand, but waiting for their Lord:
“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:” — Philippians 3:20 (KJV)
APPLICATION.
Do not set your heart on what is fading. Wealth fades. Fame fades. Even life itself is but a v***r.
“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow… For what is your life? It is even a vapour…” — James 4:14 (KJV)
Instead, live in readiness. Walk in holiness. Keep your eyes fixed upward.
“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” — Colossians 3:2 (KJV)
FINAL EXHORTATION.
This world is not your rest. It is passing away. But there is a kingdom that cannot be shaken, a glory that will not fade, and a Savior who is coming again.
So lift up your eyes. Endure. Be faithful.
The blessed hope is not a wish—it is a certainty.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus. (KJV)
GOD bless you richly.🙏
