Abraham was called "the friend of God"—
An expression used of no other person in the Bible
Jesus called us friends—
How tragic that many do not want to be His friend in the church

A friend must speak straight to you
A friend must correct you when necessary
A friend is there when you need him—
To be called a friend by God is a great thing
Yet many do not appreciate it and many
Do not want to be the Lord’s friend because of
Fear that He will correct them in their walk

What are you called in the 21st century?
What do you want to be called in the 21st century?
A friend of God or a servant of God—
To be called a friend by God is a great thing
Yet many do not appreciate it and many
Do not want to be the Lord’s friend because of
Fear that He will correct them in their walk
