EGW
We are to show our loyalty to our King, the Lord Jesus Christ. The apostle James declares: “Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” And the beloved John, the disciple in spirit most like Jesus, has given the warning, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” No man will find happiness in following the example of Adam, and wandering away from his Maker. GCB January 1, 1897, par. 1
