What A Friend!

Proverbs 18:24 MEV

A man who has friends must show himself friendly, and there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Jesus is a friend that is closer than a brother.

James 4:4 NLT

You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God.

Jesus is not your friend if you are a friend with the world.

John 15:12–13 NLT

This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Jesus gave up his life for you.

Romans 5:8 MEV

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

John 15:14 NLT

You are my friends if you do what I command.

If we follow Jesus’ commands we are his friend.

John 15:15 NLT

I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.

We are no longer slaves to sin because He is our friend.
