1 John 2:12-17: in context

John pauses to reassure the different generations in his church, addressing children, fathers, and young men in turn, reminding each of what is already true of them: your sins are forgiven, you know the Father, you are strong and the word of God abides in you and you have overcome the evil one. Then comes the command that follows from all that security: do not love the world or the things in the world. For everything in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not from the Father but from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

John gives the security before the command, and the order matters. He first tells them what they already are, forgiven, knowing God, strong, overcomers, and only then says do not love the world. The freedom to let go of the world grows from knowing you already possess something better and permanent. And John diagnoses worldliness precisely: not the physical world God made and called good, but a system of desire, the craving of the flesh, the craving of what the eyes see, and the pride that comes from what one has. These are the three hooks, appetite, envy, and boasting, by which the passing world holds a heart. And his argument against loving it is simply that it is passing away. It is not that the world's pleasures are worthless but that they are temporary, dissolving even as you grasp them, while the one who does God's will abides forever. To love the world is to pour your heart into what is already evaporating.

Which of the three hooks, the craving of the flesh, the craving of the eyes, or the pride of life, most holds my heart, and am I pouring my love into what is already passing away?
