Friends of God

WORDs of Saving Grace - friends of God

John 15:15  Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

FRIEND, n. frend.

1.  One who is attached to another by affection; one who entertains for another sentiments of esteem, respect and affection, which lead him to desire his company,  and to seek to promote his happiness and prosperity; opposed to foe or enemy.

A friend loveth at all times.  Prov. 17.

3. One reconciled after enmity. "Let us be friends again."

Jesus does not simply call us a friend and leave it at that. There are a great many benefits to His friendship! As He said He has shown us ALL things which He heard from His Father.

That is an incredible revelation my Christian friends! Because we can know God, and even more importantly be known of Him, because of Christ Jesus, our Lord's reconciliation of our enmity with God through His cross.

He revealed His plan of the Gospel to His disciples, but they were too hard hearted and focused on their own plans to listen (Luke 24:6,7).

How often we are the same way!? He has revealed all the will of His and our Heavenly Father through His Word and Spirit (Ephesians 5:17). Nothing is hidden or in secret (Acts 26:26).

We are His friends.
