2 Timothy 4:9-13
1. Contrast Demas and Luke.
Demas loved this world. Therefore he has deserted Paul and has gone to Thessalonica. Only Luke is with Paul.
John 3:16; 1 John 2:15-17
2. How can we love and yet not love the world?
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world.
The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
