Come near to God and he will come near to you

James 4:1-17
Battle within you is come from your desires.
No matter what you do you can't have what you want, because you do not ask God, or you ask with wrong motives.
Anyone who choose to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
God oppose the proud but gives grace to the humble. (Prov 3:34)
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you.
Sinners wash your hands, double-minded purify your hearts. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Brothers , do not slender one another. Who are you to judge your neighbor?
Our life is a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes We ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will love and do this."
Anyone, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it ,sins.
Why
James teach Christians many behaviors we have to do. If we has many desires then we battle within us and suffer many struggling. Humble and purify our heart.
Come close to the Lord, then the Lord comes to us.
Aggressive to do the good things is obligation, if don't do it is sin.
The root cause of quarrels and fighting is envy.
Don't assume you have total control of your life: that is in God's hand too.
The Lord look at our heart, so the motives are important when we ask to God.
Because we like something in the world, then we will have double-minded.
How?
Confess our inner sins to the Lord, humble ourselves and purify our heart, do the good thing when we know. No any excuse can say before the Lord. Honor the name of God and we receive peace.
