       James also says that by being this way, we are being like the world, and thus becoming a friend with the world. We are acting like people who were never saved in the first place. So, we become like those who are not in proper relationship with God, and God doesn’t like that. We know that James is telling us to avoid the bad things of the world. The world, in and of itself, as God has made it, is very good, as Moses tells us in Genesis chapter 1. It’s a beautiful thing. It’s a wonderful world. We also know that the people made in God’s image, which is every human, are also good, again, as Moses tells us. So, what is the problem? We are aware that there’s this thing called ‘sin.’ Sin is doing things in a different way from the way God wants them done. Therefore, when we choose to make major life decisions, take positions, go in particular ways, any of those things that aren’t approved by God are going after the ‘world.’ It is going about life without reverence to what God desires from us.
