Becoming Best Friends with God

Since we were restored to friendship with God by the death of His Son while we were sill his enemies, we will certainly be delivered from eternal punishment by his life. – Romans 5:10

In the Garden

In Eden, Adam and Eve had the perfect relationship with God.  Exactly how God designed it and wanted it to be.  Unhindered by guilt or fear, they delighted in God, and He delighted in them.

Only a few people in the Old Testament had the privilege of friendship with God.  Moses, Abraham, David, Job, Enoch, and Noah.  Fear of God was much more common.

God wants to be your Friend

It may be hard to understand, but “He is a God who is passionate about his relationship with you.” – Exodus 34:14

Becoming a Best Friend of God

You will never grow a close relationship with God by just attending church, reading your bible every day, and praying before bed.  Friendship is built by sharing all your life experiences with him.

Point to Ponder

God wants to be my best friend.

Verse to Remember

“Friendship with God is reserved for those who reverence him.”
--Psalm 25:14
