“Jesus: My Saviour And Friend”
Friday, July 19, 2024Key Verse
“Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.” John 15:14
Text — John 15:12-17
Message
Friends enjoy speaking, listening to and pleasing one another. They will sometimes do things for their friends that they would not do for others. It is great to have good friends. Jesus is the greatest friend anyone could have. He is a friend like no other. He becomes your friend when you repent of your sins and accept Him into your heart as Lord and Saviour. For this relationship to grow, you must desire to speak to Him by praying, reading His word (Bible), meditating on them and listening to Him as He speaks to you.
The evidence that anyone is indeed a friend of Jesus, is a life of obedience to His words and commandment. It is commonly said that, “Show me your friend and I will tell you what kind of person you are.” The life of true friends of Jesus must show the character of Jesus. Are you righteous and holy? Is your heart pure? Ask God today to make your life to be like that of His Son: Jesus Christ. Never be satisfied until others truly see Jesus in you.
