1 John 2:17
“The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.”
Understanding this passage
John puts temptation on a timer. The world's desires are not forever; doing God's will is.
Why this verse helps
Temptation feels urgent and permanent. This verse says that craving is already fading, and God's will outlasts it.
A prayer for you
Lord, the world's desires are passing away. Help me do Your will and live. Amen.
