In Christ, you not only have a new life, and new friends and a new family, but you now have new enemies that will oppose you.
The enemy is threefold – the world, the flesh, and the devil. When you really love God, you stop loving this evil world and all that it offers.
For all these worldly things; sex; the ambition to buy everything that appeals to you; and the pride that comes from wealth and importance…these are not from God.
They are from this evil world itself. This evil world is fading away, and these evil, forbidden things will go with it but WHOEVER KEEPS DOING THE WILL OF GOD will live forever!
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
(1 John 2:15-17 TLB)Then He said to all, Anyone who wants to follow me must put aside his own desires and conveniences and carry his cross with him every day and keep close to Me!
(Luke 9:23 TLB)For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against persons without bodies – the evil rulers of the unseen world, those mighty satanic beings and great evil princes of darkness who rule this world; and against huge numbers of wicked spirits in the spirit world. So use every piece of God’s armour to resist the enemy whenever he attacks, and when it is all over, you will still be standing up.
(Eph. 6:12-13 TLB)
