Friendship with the world is the lust of the flesh. It is the - TopicsExpress



          

Friendship with the world is the lust of the flesh. It is the selfish pursuit of gain, status, or position. It is the indulgence of our carnal selves. The Holy Spirit knows that our pursuit of these aims will only flirt with things that will only lead to futility and emptiness. God, in His jealous love, hates when we flirt with things that will only lead to the demise of our souls. Never forget that God is the perfect Father; like any great father, He hates to see His children settle for anything less than the best. This is why He will not tolerate our friendship with the world. Jesus desires for you to experience abundant life (John 10:10), and the Holy Spirit manifests the desires of the Son. Remember that the Godhead is one in purpose. God passionately longs for an intimate relationship with His children. When we flirt with the world, we displace ourselves from the experience of deep intimacy with God. What a tragic loss-and how it breaks our Fathers heart. (John Bevere)
