Conflict With Scripture

James continues his presentation of the character of self-centered, selfish mankind.
The truth of the condition of the human spirit, as laid out in Scripture, is rejected by man.
Left to ourselves, we reject both Scripture and its description of our nature.

James 4:5

I.) Scripture Defines Truth:

2 Timothy 3:16-17, Psalm 19:7-11, Psalm 119:130

II.) Spirit vs. spirit:

James 4:5 NKJV, James 4:5 KJV

III.) The Desires of our spirit:

Genesis 6:3-5, Genesis 8:21, Psalm 106:16-18, Acts 7:9, Titus 3:3

Food for thought: The Holy Spirit’s desires are for God.
