I am a friend of God.

One of my favourite songs at the moment is "I am a friend of God." by Israel Houghton.
Based on James 2:23 "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, and he was called God's friend."
What an incredible thing, to be called God's friend!
You see, Abraham believed God.
He believed what God told him & he did what God told him to do.
Because Abraham did that, he was "right" in the eyes of God, & could be called a friend of God.
Just like Abraham, we are called to believe all that God tells us through His word, the Bible.
And we are made "right" with God by receiving Jesus Christ as our Saviour & Lord.
Then & only then can we say with absolute confidence that "I am a friend of God."

Just think about it for a moment.
That the Creator of the universe, the Lord God Almighty would look at you & call you 'friend'!
