Without Desire For God

"Therefore, they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways."  Job 21:14.  God will depart from all of those who do not wish for His presence.  God desires that all would know Him and love Him.  Those who would serve God must know His will and give ear to His instruction.  One must have a knowledge of His ways  to serve Him faithfully and to do that which will please Him.  However, those who live according to the flesh have no desire for God.  Those of the world do not desire to know the ways of God.  The ways of God stand opposed to the earthly.  His way is a way of holiness and purity.  His way is a way of right and goodness.  Those who have no desire of God love impurity and filthiness.  They do that which is wrong and evil.  When one has a knowledge of the ways of God, he must depart from foolishness and iniquity.  God's knowledge gives instruction about right living as opposed to wrong living.  God's knowledge leads one to a higher plane of life.  The knowledge of God teaches one to avoid iniquity and evil.  If one has no will to do right, then he has no desire for God.
