Yea the world is the enemy of God. That doesn't mean it has a will of its own, it just means it's in opposition to the only will that actually exists, and for futility at that since no one and no thing will ever stop the invincible will of God, doubly so now that our Lord Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of God preparing his armies, praise Jesus.
what if the situation is like this
God creates all things and then mankind in his own image and likeness then he gives mankind dominion over all he has created upon the earth and blesses them…
and then Satan deceives them and leads then astray from what God told them about life and death and leads them into death corrupting thier Will making it like this
And resulting in this dispostion by God who created it all
“And
GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of
the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it
repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it
grieved him at his heart.
And
the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air;
for it repenteth me that I have made them.
…And God looked upon
the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for
all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all
flesh is come before me;
for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.”
Genesis 6:5-7, 12-13
We either need to think God intended from the start to grieve his own heart and cause himself to repent for creating mankind . Or we need to see that mankknd is an essential part of the design of creation and what we will and do leads what God then does in response
sometimes we forget God is living and we are created after his likeness and image what I mean is
We can provoke God to anger and wrath against us
“Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.”
Jeremiah 25:7 KJV
most often it’s to correct mankind’s behaviors but we often never respond
“And the LORD said unto Moses,
How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?
I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.”
Numbers 14:11-12 KJV
He’s trying to reform us from our corrupted Will
“And
if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will
walk contrary unto me; then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will
punish you yet seven times for your sins. And
I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.”
Leviticus 26:23-25
there’s a constant interaction and response it’s always been based upon if we choose good or evil with our own Will since they partook of that forbidden knowledge of good and evil were in a snare caught between good and evil and need are formation of our Will by the gospel the world is full of wickedness that then corrupts our freewill and we become slaves to those things over time and need freedom through Jesus
