Why is friendship with the world equivalent to hatred toward God?
Because it is the way that God views it, as seen in the following passages of Scripture: you are either a friend of God or of the world's philosophy. You either love God or hate Him, according to how you live:
James 4:4 - Because when we go down the world's sinful path, it is spiritual adultery
Luke 16:13 - you cannot serve two masters: it is one or the other
Romans 8:5-8-You either live according to the flesh or the Spirit
I John 2:15-17 - You either love the world or you have the love of the Father in you
I John 3:8 - You are either of the Devil or you are of God.
Read Proverbs 3:34 and James 4:6 and then give your own definition of pride:
To live in your own power for your own purposes
What are your 3 next steps, in order to apply James 4:1-6?
- To take a moment, when someone wants to fight with me, to evaluate my motives for entering into the argument
- To confess my sins daily
- To constantly work at humbly approaching God, desiring to submit to Him and His Word
