<p> "opposition; very bitter, deep-rooted, irreconcilable hatred and variance. Such a constant enmity there is between the followers of Christ and Satan; nay, there is some such enmity between mankind and some serpents ( Genesis 3:15). [[Friendship]] with this world, in its wicked members and lusts, is ''Enmity With God'' — is opposed to the love of him, and amounts to an actual exerting of ourselves to dishonor and abuse him ( James 4:4; 1 John 2:15-16). The carnal mind, or minding of fleshly and sinful things, is ''Enmnity Against God'' — is opposed to his nature and will in the highest degree, and, though it may be removed, cannot be reconciled to him, nor he to it ( Romans 8:7-8). The ceremonial law is called ''Enmity:'' it marked God's enmity against sin by demanding atonement for it; it occasioned men's enmity against God by its burdensome services, and was an accidental source of standing variance between [[Jews]] and Gentiles: or perhaps the [[Enmity]] here meant is the state of variance between God and men, whereby he justly loathed and hated them as sinful, and condemned them to punishment; and they wickedly hated him for his holy excellence, retributive justice, and sovereign goodness: both are slain and abolished by the death of Christ ( Ephesians 2:15-16)." </p> | <p> "opposition; very bitter, deep-rooted, irreconcilable hatred and variance.
