How do we know that the love of the Father is not in those who love the world?

Answered in 1 source

The love of the Father is absent in those who love the world because the world symbolizes rebellion against God.

1 John 2:15-16 illustrates that those who love the world do so out of a heart rebellious against God. The Apostle John identifies the 'lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life' as manifestations of this rebellion. These desires lead individuals away from God and towards self-reliance and sinful pursuits. If a person's heart is captured by these worldly affections, it indicates a lack of genuine love for God.
