                           3. Friendship with the world is hatred toward God


                 my heart with the world that was considered dirty by God.

                 I truly repent and repent.’ And they should change their
                 anxiety into grieve in pain that their faith was false, and they
                 should do an action of faith to clean up the detestable things
                 immediately. That is a humility that they themselves lower
                 before God. However, how dare they could make such an

                 excuse if they know who they are themselves before the Word
                 of God? I mean, if they really believe that God exists and that
                 there is a heaven and a hell.
                       The verse in 8-10 says about that. Doesn’t it say that
                 ‘Come near to God and he will come near to you?’ When

                 you are to believe, it is not that God comes near to the be-
                 liever. Now the believer must come near to God. When we
                 are to come near to God, God also comes near to us. Then,
                 what does it mean coming near to God? Just as it is, first of

                 all, what such things that are detestable to God, should be
                 cleaned in yourself or in your life. That is a very basic thing
                 to come near to God. So, doesn’t it say like this?; ‘Wash your
                 hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-
                 minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to

                 mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before
                 the Lord, and he will lift you up.’ Then how about you? Do
                 you come near to God?



                 I wondered why people who were so-called believers asked
