This scripture clearly speaks of the love that God has for the whole world. This is to include all of creation. Such things as science, government, the stock market, religion, the arts, diets, entertainment, and sports can work for our good, but they become idolatrous when we put our trust in them rather than in God. We must understand that as mankind seeks to find a better way of living, the answers and solutions presented are temporal. The benefits befall a select group while most suffer continual loss at the expense of those that selfishly gain.
