ABIDE IN GOD’S FRIENDSHIP

Jesus committed the greatest act of love this world has ever known in laying down His life. He did this so willingly out of His desire for relationship with us. God desired friendship with you to the level that He would send His Only Son to die in order to restore what sin has destroyed.

John 15:14 makes it clear that friendship with God is following His commands. Jesus has revealed the pathway to abundant life and He’s led us to that path by laying down His own life that we might have the Holy Spirit working within us. To be friends with Jesus is to choose to lay down our lives in response to His loving sacrifice.

Will you choose friendship with God over the world today? Will you choose to follow the will of God who laid down His life for yours? True friendship with God is fully available to you today if you will follow the life giving commandments of Jesus.

Confession

I am a friend of God. I hear His voice and do the will of the Father. I am a friend of God, praise God forevermore.

Matthew 7:16-20 “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 

Proverbs 18:24 “A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.”
