"If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him"
Christopher, my first son, did love me more than anything in the world. He sinned and I forgave him.
My next two sons; Steven and Michael loved things in the world. They frequently sinned and didn't care about their victims.

Second, you know that you have been, born again, because you will want to obey God. "And hereby we do know, that we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandment.
(1 John 2:3)
Third, you will separated from the world. The Bible says, "love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him" (1 John 2:15)
An unknown poet explains it this way.
All the water in the world,
However hard it tried,
Could never sink a ship
Unless it got inside
All the evil in the world,
The wickedness and sin,
Could never sink the soul's craft
Unless it got inside.
