James 4:4
You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Evil wasn’t always a part of God’s creation, but because of the sins of mankind, impurity crept into the world. Today, our society is riddled with sin, to the point where things like arrogance, adultery, gossip and godlessness are all praised. The Bible warns to stay away from these things, and not to let yourself be drawn into the world and its ways. You can’t expect to serve God with all your heart while also being “friends” with the very things He hates. Scripture makes it clear that the path the world is on leads only to a bitter end, but that the straight and narrow road that God calls us to will lead to everlasting life.
