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.
Christ’s love for His people moves Him to lead us into the green pastures and beside the still waters of His Father's will for our lives. When Jesus is your friend, the intimate relationship knows no limits.
Saving faith in Jesus secures our salvation, but friendship is conditional. Friendship requires obedience to His commands. The Lord wants our consistent service -- not hit and miss. He wants daily prayer, Bible study, and submission to His will.
Our motivation is love for Jesus and for others.
Jesus is the best friend you will ever have.
