The Enemy Of God

The Enemy of God

(Compare James 4: 4; 1 John 2: 15-17)

I should not care, should you? to go up and down in this world and to pursue my daily calling in it, and yet for these words to be truly and really descriptive of me: THE ENEMY OF GOD!

And yet they may really describe me, and be the only true description, as I think the context shews.

There are only the two systems now, that of “the world” and that of “the Father”. In scripture they are put in contrast. The world has rejected and crucified the Son of the Father, but the Father’s system is connected with Him, and if God is now revealed as Father, you must be the enemy of God if you are “a friend of the world” which crucified God’s Son.
