Friend of GOD or the world?
I am
not a friend of this world. To be a friend of this world is to be a friend of
the prince of this world, the devil, aka Satan.
“Whosoever
therefore will be a friend of the world is an enemy of God” (James 4:4).
“For
the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God” (1 Corinthians 3:19).
Let
us be reminded of these words spoken to his disciples by our Lord, Savior and
King Jesus saying: “The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I
testify of it, that the works thereof are evil” (John 7:7).
“If
the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of
the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world,
but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you” (John
15:18-19). “He that hateth me hateth my Father also” (John 15:23).
“He
that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world
shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and
where I am, there shall also my servant be” (Matthew 12:24-26).
“These
things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye
shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John
16:33).
“I
am with you alway, even unto the end of the world” (Matthew 28:20).
