“Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.” - 1 John 2:15
Sometimes it seems like it would be a lot easier to love the world rather than the Father. But we know that it will bring us much more joy and peace to love God rather than the world. Jesus said it wouldn’t be easy being a Christian, and it might give us more trials than if we weren’t Christians. But with God, we have hope. We know that this life is so so short compared to the eternity we will live in joy with the Father. So when the world seems tempting, we need to trust that God has a plan, and it is far more rewarding than anything this world can offer.

Good point, we need to think long term, and not fall for the short term pleasures this world offers.
