What does the Bible say about the love of the world?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible warns against loving the world, stating that such love contradicts the love of the Father (1 John 2:15).

According to 1 John 2:15, the Bible clearly states, 'Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.' This verse indicates that a love for worldly things is fundamentally opposed to a true relationship with God. Furthermore, James 4:4 emphasizes this notion by declaring, 'Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.' This stark warning highlights the danger of developing an attachment to worldly pursuits over divine priorities.
