You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. John 15:14

 Free will is a privilege God gives to mankind. How mankind uses that privilege determines the blessings he receives from God. As your creator, God desires to have a personal relationship with you. Just like a friend, He longs for you to develop an everlasting friendship that sustains the test of time.

 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. John 15:7

 The Son of God, Jesus Christ, called those who followed Him a friend. Adhering to the voice of God and His will for your life is the hallmark of a loyal friend. Nothing God asks of you doesn’t come without His help. God’s Holy Spirit goes with each of God’s followers and through His Holy Spirit, you can do any and all things in life that bring honor to Him.

 …as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who calls us by glory and virtue. 2 Peter 1:3
