Thank you, and I need help on learning to ditch fake friends
With Jesus it has to do with true and love, for these two characteristics are God's greatest. He is The Truth and He is love. So truthfully loving is where you find Jesus the very opposite of the wicked.
The wicked get into us through the lies we believe about God, ourselves and our neighbour. We can see that we have fallen for the wicked's lies when our lives are not loving. Where we either hurt God or our neighbour with our by the wicked's orchestrated deeds, or we suffer the hate of the wicked.
The problem biggest problem with the wicked dwelling in our hearts is that they are not truthful and not loving. They bring guilt, shame, confusion, loneliness and fear, for with them as friends we do untruthful unloving things and create misery instead of good life.
The good news is we can be saved from the wicked. The blood of Jesus can wash us clean and help us break away from them. This process is called repentance. Where we deny ourselves the right to heed the wicked any longer for we following the longing to do what is loving and true instead of their unloving deeds.
When we do that then the wicked dwelling in our hearts will begin to be washed off, and the characteristics of the wicked will begin to leave us. So instead of selfishness, dishonesty, pride-fullness and arrogance reigning our hearts with misery, God's love does and our hearts begin to produce good things, like kindness, gentleness, self-control, patience, compassion, forgiveness, meekness and humbleness.
God as friend dwelling within us kills the wicked, along the Way. It is absolutely awesome to see Jesus fight the wicked. For years they controlled my heart and my thinking and brought God, me and my neighbour much pain and suffering. Yet then i found Jesus as friend and Saviour and He redeemed me from the power of the wicked and made me much stronger than them so i don't any longer have to fear those bullies.
That is the life i wish for you Loyal. A life where God is your friend and Saviour and you find good life galore in and with Him.
There is no better Friend than Jesus. For He forgives our wrongs and sets us free from the traps of the wicked.
All glory to His name!
