Friend of the World is Enemy of God


James 4:4    Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

A friend is one who supports you in that which you do.  A friend approves you.  A friend stands by you ready to fight for you.

The world delights in adultery, fornication, beating others, exalting themselves in appearance.  Every work of this flesh is exalted by the world.

Everything is against God that this world does.

I Jn. 2:15-17   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.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
