“I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.” John 15:15 [NIV]
Jesus’ first followers became His friends.
We talk about being God’s friend.
But what does that mean, and how do we become God’s friends?
The verses just before give us a clue:
“My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.” John 15:12-14 [NIV]
Yesterday we ended with two questions:
“What is God saying to you?” and “What are you going to do about it?”
It has been said that these are the two fundamental questions of being a Christ follower. As with any other friendship, if we are Jesus’ friends then we want to please Him and not to do things that don’t please Him.
