What is the meaning of 'the world' in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

'The world' refers to creation, people, and the sinful mindset or ways that stand opposed to God.

'The world' in the Bible can mean different things, including the physical creation that God created and deemed good, humanity whom He loves and desires to save, and the sinful ways of man that are contrary to God's commands. The sermon explains that while God created the world for our enjoyment, He commands us not to love the sinful mindset and desires that arise from it. Understanding these distinctions allows believers to appreciate God's gifts without falling into the trap of worldly love.
