TRUE FRIENDSHIP

Have you ever had a great friend? How deep did your relationship go? Have you had a friend that you would die for? Listen to what the word of God declares regarding a real friendship.

Jn 15:13 Greater love has no man than this that he would lay his life down for his friend.

God’s greatest desire is that you would be united with him to impart to you all that he is. God gave everything, including his own life, so that you can have all of him.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21(NIV) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are, therefore, Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

God wants you to have all that he is – His love, joy, peace, prosperity, health, etc.! God longs for you to be filled with his love and the fullness of his life! Would you trust his love today? He is with you this very moment and is longing for you to step into his abundant life! For sure, you will never know a better friend! Friendship with him is…
