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 physical pleasure ... 1 John 2:15, 16 NLT
When the woman saw the tree was good for food ... Gen 3:6 NASB
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil. For forty days and forty nights he fasted and became very hungry. During that time the devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.” Matt. 4:1-3 NLT
Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls. 1 Peter 2:11 NLT
Live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. For the time already past is sufficeint for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursused a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties and abominable idolatries. 1 Peter 2:2-3 NASB
