Friendship With God

⁴ You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.⁵ Or do you think that the Scripture says to no purpose, “He jealously desires the Spirit whom He has made to dwell in us”?⁶ But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.”

James 4:4-6

Christian, you and I must make a choice. Are we going to be friends with the world system in which we find ourselves? Or are we going to serve the God of grace who gives mercy to the humble? The Apostle tells us we cannot to do both. We have to make a choice.

Let us strive to serve the Lord. The lost and those who are of this world will not understand. May we serve our Savior nonetheless!
