James 4:1-10
The Characteristics of Godliness
I. A choice for Him v. 7
Do you want God resisting you or do you want to resist the Devil?
We enter spiritual warfare with the fam at our side
god has placed specific spiritual authority
- don't fight their authority
The Devil is god's Devil, God is all knowing the devil is not
If god is resisting me there is no hope, if the devil is resisting there is hope
Romans 6
II. A Closeness to Him v. 8a
v. 5 Yearns Jealously
Revelation 3 - The church sounds much like America
This is us
III. A cleansing by Him v. 8b
this is a command not a promise
This is what we do
Clean our hands (external) and hearts (internal)
I John 1:7
I John 3:3
We are responsible to clean up our lives
IV. A contribution towards Him v. 9
We are commanded to mourn and weep our sins
Psalm 73:28
Romans 7 and 8
V. A confidence in Him v 10
VI. A concentration on Him v. 5-6
The main focus
DO YOU KNOW GOD? - This is the issue
