Righteousness by Faith

Friend of God — James 2:23 (ESV) The Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, & it was counted to him as righteousness”—& he was called a friend of God. Prov 17:17 A friend loves at all times… Exod 33:11 The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. John 15:15 Jesus said, “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. — As a friend, you choose to care & love! The same is true with God! We must remember that God is looking for a friend! One that is willing, to care about what He wants! His will! Friends make sacrifices for one another, & our God made the greatest sacrifice of all for us. —John 15:13-14 Jesus said, “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.” —Love Mel
