Strangers in exile

You discover that you are a stranger living in exile when ...

you no longer love the world, or love what the world loves.

Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only ... a craving for everything we see ... 1 John 2:15, 16 NLT

When the woman saw that the tree was ... a delight to the eyes ... Gen. 3:6 NASB

Next the devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. Matt. 4:8 NASB

You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor. Exodus 20:17 NASB
