Does
God have enemies? If so, who are they? C an
a Christian become an enemy of God?
Please notice in James 4:4b
Quote: ...whosoever therefore
will be a friend of the world is the
enemy of God.
An enemy of God is one who will
deliberately and knowingly (or not),
assist the world in its hostility
towards Christ and His Church.
This means that every business that
distributes
liquor is the enemy of God. This
means that every politician who supports
abortion,
gambling,
homosexuality, and all other forms of
wickedness is an enemy of God. This
means that every publisher that
redefines the Bible is the enemy of God.
There are many enemies with many faces
who are deliberately contrary to the
will of God in this world. All who
reject the Lord Jesus Christ and His
offer of eternal life is of this world
and therefore, is an enemy of God.
The "world" which the Bible speaks of is
the world of wickedness that hides
darkness in the glittering lights of
good intentions that merely masquerade
the evil intent and content of the heart
flamed by the seductive influences
fostered by Satan (Genesis
3).
Can A Christian Become An Enemy Of
God?
Answer: In light of what an enemy is
defined as, a Christian cannot become
an enemy of God. However, a
Christian can be at
enmity with God. Sampson is a
perfect example. He was enamored with
the world around him. God dealt with
Sampson as He does with all believers,
not as an enemy, but as a Father (Proverbs
3:12).
The world hates God. Yet, God loves the
world (John
3:16). God
hates sin, but He loves sinners. When
the Church refuses to be enamored with
the ways of the world... Sinners will
hear the relevance of Jesus Christ. The
world cannot afford a worldly Church.
Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
