An enemy Is someone who is actively against or is unfriendly toward someone.
When someone actively against you, they are actively resisting or refusing to comply.
The conflicting of an enemy is someone who is a partner or supporter.

According to the Bible, there are a few enemies. Satan is an enemy and those who oppose the Truth that Jesus is the Savior of the world. Death and friendship with the world are also enemies we face on this side of heaven. 

There is a specific verse about enemies related to being opposed because you told the truth. Have you ever corrected someone (out of love) just to have them turn on you? 

Satan
“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” – 1 Peter 5:8
Satan opposes God, God’s people, and God’s plans.

Death
“The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” – 1 Corinthians 15:26
One day, there will be no more death, but on this side of heaven, death is an enemy.

Friendship with the World is an Enemy of God
“You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.” – James 4:4
The world opposes Jesus and the Truth of Scripture, living devoted to self, rather than devoted to God.

People Opposed to Christ
“For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ.” – Philippians 3:18
Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life- many reject that reality, therefore becoming an enemy of Jesus.

Truth Tellers
“Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?” – Galatians 4:16
Whether you are sharing the gospel or correcting someone with love, we can quickly become an enemy when the truth is rejected. Remember, when you share the truth and it is rejected, you may face opposition. Someone who may have been open-minded can quickly oppose the Truth (and you), becoming an enemy.

​When Hamman tried to destroy the Jews in the Assyrian Kingdom Esther fasted for 
3 days along with her maidens. God intervened mightily saving them and destroying their enemies. The book of Esther where you won’t find the word God mentioned how ever everything in it screams “God is in control.”

Haman was out and Mordecai was in! The king's signet ring, which had been on Haman's wicked finger, was now placed upon Mordecai and with it came the authority to rule on behalf of the king. We could see if the evil that was decreed under the rule of Haman could be surpassed by the good that was available under the authority of Mordecai. Now do you remember who these two men are a picture of?  Haman is a picture of the fleshly nature in man where as Mordecai is a type of the Holy Spirit. 
Both claim the right to rule.
Mordecai in charge would lead to great rejoicing and changes throughout the land. But first there is a certain previous decree to deal with. Queen Esther falling down at the feet of the king pleading on behalf of her people to stop this evil plan. Haman. Surely the king would simply revoke this terrible law now that Haman had been unmasked. As we shall see, even the king himself couldn't revoke this law!

Let's look at these two laws in regards to the penalty for sin. The first law (as pictured by Haman's law decreeing death upon the Jewish race) was summed up by Ezekiel, 'The soul who sins will die'(Ezek 18:4) or as Paul wrote in Romans 6:23 'the wages of sin is death.' That is the decree from God and it is set in concrete. It states that the payment for sin is death and this is speaking of both physical and spiritual death. Like the Persian laws of old, this cannot be revoked or annulled, and has been decreed upon the entire human race. That, my friend, is the bad news. Now for the good news!

The same King of heaven who decreed the first law has also given one that brings freedom, joy and eternal life! The new decree states that  'that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved'  for ' the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. ' (Romans 10:9, 6:23). Just as the Jews were given the second decree that could bring deliverance from the first, so this eternal decree has gone throughout the world so that all who believe may find grace, forgiveness and life!

Did you know that there are not only two laws concerning the penalty of sin, but there are also two laws governing the power of sin? This is summed up by the Apostle Paul in Romans 8 where he writes: Romans 8:1-4

​A 'law' is something that is constant and does not change. This could be a governmental law such as 'You must pay taxes! Our The law of gravity says what goes up must come down. Isaac Newton sat under an apple tree a apple hit him in the head he wondered why didn't the apple float up and that's where the law of gravity was discovered so whatever goes up must come down this is a law of nature. Well in the spiritual world, Paul spoke of two laws that operate as well.

​The first is called 'the law of sin and death'. The second is 'the law of the Spirit of life'. Both are in operation at the same time and both influence the believer. The first operates through man's fallen nature pulling him down and leading to sin. It is summed up in Romans chapter 7 with Paul saying  "I do not understand my own action for I do not do what I want and I do the very thing that I hate. I can will what is right but I cannot do it." (Romans 7:18-20). Never forget that this law exists. Without living in a dependency upon the Holy Spirit whom God has given all believers, all that even a true child of God can expect is failure. It is a law. It changes not! It brings sin, failure and discouragement. Don't be surprised when this law operates in you! 

Yet praise God that a second law has been enacted that is more powerful and when taken into account brings freedom from the first law! Like Mordecai writing the new law to grant freedom and liberty to the Jews condemned to die under Haman's law, so God has given a new decree that declares that the Spirit whom he has given believers can and will free them from the bondage of the law of sin and death..
