4:7-10 What do we learn from what James says here?
What we learn from this first and foremost is that in order to stand against the devil, believers must be totally surrendered to God in true humility.
The devil will not flee from us otherwise (CP Psa 34:18; Isa 57:15-18; Zech 1:3 with Eph 6:10-18 and 1Pe 5:8-9).
Double-minded in Jas 4:8 refers to believers whose minds are on both the things of God and worldly pursuits.
They are spiritually unfaithful to Christ and friends of the world (CP Jer 3:20; Ro 8:7-8; Jas 1:8; 4:4; 1Jn 2:15-16).
