What does the Bible say about friendship with the world?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns that friendship with the world makes one an enemy of God (James 4:4).

In James 4:4, the scripture explicitly states that 'friendship with the world is enmity against God.' This means that desiring the pleasures, profits, and desires of the world can alienate a person's relationship with God. This is portrayed as spiritual adultery, where believers turn their affections away from God and towards worldly things, thus jeopardizing their spiritual integrity.
