James warns the church not to love the world system--a paradigm that values pride, temporary pleasures, achievement and possessions in order to distract us from God's eternal values. He uses the strong language of spiritual adultery to describe a person trying to follow both Christ and the world system, which the Bible is clear is impossible. Christians need to be aware of the subtle pull of the world system and invest in their relationship with God to protect against spiritual adultery.
