Scripture

Romans 5

6 When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. 7 Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good.

8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

9 And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. 10 For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. 11 So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.

Observation

Do you have many friends? Friendship is all about relationships. You can’t be a friend of God unless you have a relationship with Him. You can only have a relationship with God through Christ.

Christ came at just the right time to die for us. God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
Are you a friend of God? Do you have a personal relationship with God through our Lord Jesus Christ? If not, then you are an enemy of God.

I would not want to be an enemy of God.

Application

I will serve the Lord with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind, and all my strength and I will serve him as a friend serves a friend.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I am Your friend because of what Christ did for me. He died to allow me to be Your friend. Thank You that I can know that You are always looking out for my best interests and You are never trying to do me harm. To think that the God that created this universe wants to be my friend is overwhelming to me. You are wonderful. You are worthy to be praised!
