WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST
part 2- We are HIS friend. . .

JOHN 15:15
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant does not know what his lord is doing; but I have called you friends;
for all things that I have heard of My Father
I have made known to you!


When the fall of man occurred -we lost that intimate relationship with God that Adam and Eve once had -it was gone - and we became enemies of God - this was not the original purpose of our lives- once before sin entered the picture - Man and God were friends -but then sin came and God had to walk away - He could no longer be that close to HIS children and it broke HIS heart - we all know what God did next- He brought us back to HIMSELF through HIS SON - and now we have become His friends again - its not by our merit - but by HIS grace- He has opened back up the line of communication man once had with Himself -we have an open line today if we trust HIM as our LORD and SAVIOR - we are now the friends of God -today's verse gives the example of a servant and his master- a servant only works for his master and does not know or get into his affairs -but a friend is in the midst of his affairs -a friend comes into our enter circle - God has opened up HIS friendship with us - the most amazing aspect of this is the fact that we still fall short and yes we still sin - but God remains faithful to us - He remains steadfast in HIS desire to see everyone come to Him - God has brought us back to HIMSELF - celebrate this today!
Praise GOD!

A SIDE NOTE:
JESUS has brought us back to HIS FATHER - and the friendship has been restored - we can know GOD through the Son - and our lives will be forever changed -trust in the SON to know the FATHER!
