THE SENSUAL, WHAT WE DESIRE.
What Actions are we taking?
Wars and arguments come as the result of sinful lusts, things we want.
1 “What is causing the quarrels and fights among you?
Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you?”
1 What is causing the quarrels and fights among you?
Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you?
1 What is causing the quarrels and fights among you?
Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you?
Let’s look back at , James again is telling his church:
Actions—v.
1. Wars and arguments come as the result of sinful lusts.
Compare with , .
14 Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.
15 These desires give birth to sinful actions.
And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.
14 “Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.
15 These desires give birth to sinful actions.
And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death."
1 5These desires give birth to sinful actions.
And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.
Attitudes—Wrong attitudes separate from God. Lust leads to greed, hate, stealing, cravings, wars and murder.
2 You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it.
You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them.
Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it.
Verse 2 tells us: “You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it.
You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them.
Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it.”
How are we Asking?
What are we asking for?
Asking the wrong way?
Are we asking for selfish reasons?
DO WE SEE THAT THE SEPARATION FROM THIS WORLD TO
GOD NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE?
Are you a Friend of the world, an enemy of God!
The world opposes God, church and the Bible.
Wrong choices, wrong thinking.—v. 4. Lust leads to hatred.
Hatred leads to murder.
Hatred equal to murder.
4 “You adulterers!
Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God?
I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God.”
also tells us: 15” Anyone who hates another brother or sister is really a murderer at heart.
And you know that murderers don’t have eternal life within them.”

15Anyone who hates another brother or sister is really a murderer at heart.
And you know that murderers don’t have eternal life within them.
IS IT TIME FOR YOUR SURRENDER?
Verse 6 and 7 tells us: “ And he gives grace generously.
As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
7 So humble yourselves before God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
7So humble yourselves before God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
2. Persistence—v. .
Resist the devil!
Draw near to God, cleanse your hands, purify your hearts.
Scripture is giving us EXACT instructions on how and what to do to draw closer to God.
Verse 8:
8 “Come close to God, and God will come close to you.
Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.
8 “Come close to God, and God will come close to you.
Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.
9 Let there be tears for what you have done.

Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy.”
8 Come close to God, and God will come close to you.
Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.

JAMES IS NOW REPEATING HIS WORDS FROM EARLIER CHAPTERS, JUDGING, THE EVIL TONGUE.

When we speak against other Christians, we speak against God.
2. Judge—v.

There is one judge.
Allow God to be the judge.
Do not judge others!
