Episode 12 - Jesus Calls Us His Friend

Why Jesus Book Series

What better reason to share our story, essay, or testimony than to know that we are not called servants but friends of the King of Kings? We have been grafted into an eternal union with God through Jesus Christ. Now we sit with Him in Heavenly places, receiving from Him the mysteries of heaven and given the privilege of asking the Father whatever we want, according to His Will, knowing that we will receive it. Why are we His Friends? Because we keep His Commandments and love one another. John 15:12-17 KJV This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. [13] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. [14] Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. [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. [16] Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. [17] These things I command you, that ye love one another.
