1 John 2:16-17 For everything in the world — the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does — comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.

Commentary: We are clearly instructed to follow the will of God with humility. God clearly considers the things we have and the accomplishments we do His. We are only stewards.
