God is Our Friend

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend. – Plautus

God is our most precious friend. We can find no other. His friendship will last for all eternity. Nothing can ever tear it down.

God is the most faithful friend we could ever have. He will not lie to us. He will never betray us or let us down. What He could do for our good He will certainly do even if it would cost Him His life. And He has died for us while we were still His enemies, that through His resurrection, we may have true life.

We often boast of our earthly friends. We are proud of our friends in power or those with great wealth. Yet how many of such friends could really be there for us in times of great need? How many can sacrifice their comfort so they can help us? And how many are ready to willingly lay down their lives for our sake?

For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a righteous person someone would even dare to die. But God commends his own love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.– Romans 5:7-8, WEB-BE
