The Gestapo report on Bonhoeffer described him as "completely in the opposition." That is the key we are in complete opposition to the world.
I John 2 :15 -17
Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
That is all that is here "lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life" It is what
got Adam and Eve
Gen 3:6
And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
lust of the flesh "saw that the tree [was] good for food"
lust of the eyes "that it [was] pleasant to the eyes"
pride of life "a tree to be desired to make [one] wise"
It got them and if not for Jesus it will get me. But
I Jn 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
