Abstract

This article examines the theme "Between Worldly Lust and Closeness to God" through an analysis of James 4:1-10 in a contemporary context. The main focus of this article is to explore the conflict between worldly desires and the call to live in humility before God. Through text exgestion, it is found that disputes and dissatisfaction often arise from unsatisfied desires. James emphasizes the importance of self-surrender and humility as a way to draw closer to God, and warns us of the dangers of "friendship with the world" which can alienate us from deep spiritual connection. This article also highlights the relevance of James' teachings in facing the challenges of modern life, where individuals are often trapped in a cycle of ambition and busyness. By applying the principles of humility, repentance, and concrete action, individuals can find deeper meaning and purpose. As a suggestion, it is important for readers to do self-reflection and get involved in a community that supports the spiritual journey. The conclusion of this study is that although worldly challenges are very real, there is a path to achieving closeness to God through awareness and commitment in everyday life.
