"Not a little is written to the Christian in the New Testament about 'the world' and his attitude towards it. Its real nature is plainly defined, and the believer is solemnly warned against it. God's holy Word is a light from heaven, shining here 'in a dark place' (2 Pet. 1:19). Its Divine rays exhibit things in their true colors, penetrating and exposing the false veneer and glamour by which many objects are cloaked. That world upon which so much labor is bestowed and money spent, and which is so highly extolled and admired by its blinded dupes, is declared to be 'the enemy of God'; therefore are His children forbidden to be 'conformed' to it and to have their affections set upon it." -A.W.
