Love the world or love God?

Sometimes I think we get too comfortable here on earth. We have lived here so long that we begin to live for the world instead of living for Jesus as we should. God has always been a jealous God and wants to be 1st in our lives.

James 4:4-6

James creates a stong contrast between loving God and loving the world. He even is so bold to claim adultery, which as we know is cheating on your spouse. He says this because we are referred to in Scripture as the Bride of Christ. When we have love for the things of this world more than we have for God, we have become unfaithful to the Lord in our love for Him.
