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.
