In the biblical context, enmity often signifies the deep-seated animosity that exists as a result of sin, both between humans and between humanity and God.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/genesis/3-15.htm">Genesis 3:15</a></b> · The concept of enmity is first introduced in the Bible in the context of the fall of man. After Adam and Eve's disobedience, God declares to the serpent: "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; He will crush your head, and you will strike His heel." This verse is often interpreted as the first messianic prophecy, indicating the ongoing spiritual battle between the forces of evil and the coming Savior, Jesus Christ.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/romans/8-7.htm">Romans 8:7</a></b> · The Apostle Paul speaks of the enmity between the sinful nature of humanity and God: "The mind of the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so." This enmity is inherent in the fallen human condition, which is naturally opposed to God's holiness and righteousness.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/ephesians/2-14.htm">Ephesians 2:14-16</a></b> · Paul addresses the reconciliation brought by Christ, who breaks down the enmity between Jews and Gentiles, and between humanity and God: "For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He extinguished their hostility." Here, enmity is overcome through the sacrificial work of Christ, uniting believers in Him.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/james/4-4.htm">James 4:4</a></b> · James warns against friendship with the world, which creates enmity with God: "You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God." This passage highlights the incompatibility between worldly values and God's kingdom, urging believers to remain faithful to God.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>Enmity in the Bible underscores the profound impact of sin on human relationships and the relationship between humanity and God. It illustrates the spiritual warfare that exists as a result of the fall and the need for divine intervention to restore peace and reconciliation. The enmity between humanity and God is ultimately addressed through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, who provides the means for reconciliation and peace.<br><br><b>Practical Implications:</b><br><br>Believers are called to recognize the enmity that sin creates and to seek reconciliation through Christ. This involves turning away from worldly values and embracing the peace that comes from a restored relationship with God. Christians are also encouraged to pursue peace and unity within the body of Christ, reflecting the reconciliation that Jesus has accomplished.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Deep-rooted hatred.
