How to be an Enemy of God

Philippians 3:19
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)


These are the characteristics of the enemies of the cross of Christ and therefore enemies of God.
1. Their God is their belly. They are ruled by physical appetites, food, sex drugs, parties, whatever feels good, they do it. They love what God has created more than the Creator.
2. Their glory is in their shame. What ought to make them filled with shame, they brag about. This is the sign of a people give over to wickedness.
3. They mind earthly things. They think about here and now, they do not think about eternity. Today is important. Tomorrow? Not so much.
4. Their end? Destruction.

Oh how foolish it is to live for today only when It fades so fast and is gone.
