James: True Faith Truly Works – “A Rebuke of Proud Worldliness” (James 4:4-6)

James 4:4-6 (NASB) 4 You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that the Scripture says to no purpose, “He jealously desires the Spirit whom He has made to dwell in us”? 6 But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” God calls us to be faithful to follow Him and His Word above the ways of the world. 1) The Rebuke of Worldliness (4:4) 2) The Reference to the Word (4:5) 3) The Reminder of the Way Forward (4:6)
