James 4:4b. Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?
Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Man must accept responsibility for the fact that his nature has corrupted the world.
Genesis 6:
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt;
12 for all mankind had corrupted his way upon the earth.
The spirit of the world is common and familiar to the human spirit.
We must be sanctified to serve the Lord in newness of life by the Spirit of Truth.
1 John 2:
15 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.
16 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.
17 And the world is passing away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will
of God abides forever.
All creation groans under the burden of man's fall from grace.
Romans 8:
19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of
the sons of God.
20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who
subjected it in hope;
21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption
into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Jesus Christ restores our relationship with God, that was severed by sin.
Isaiah 59:
1 Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy,
that it cannot hear;
2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have
hid His face from you, that He will not hear.
The divine nature is not obtained by genetics, personal improvement or education.
John 1:
12 As many as received Him, He gave the authority to become children of God,
to those who believe in His name;
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,
but of God.
Life in Christ by the Will of God separates us to be useful to His purpose. Many
have placed their hope in the Grace of God, but grace without purpose leads into error.
2 Timothy 1:
9 Who has saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works,
but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus
before the world began,
10 but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has
abolished death, and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
We must be born from above by the Grace of God through Jesus Christ, and receive
the Holy Spirit to truly love God, and one another.
