Friends of God

‭‭He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God.

Romans 4:25 NLT‬‬

---

We are justified by our faith in the firstborn Son of God. Our faith saves us from condemnation.

---

‭‭Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.

Romans 5:1 NLT‬‬

---

The blood of Christ washes us clean from the debt of sin. We are reconciled to the Father through Jesus. He is the Savior of the world. Our belief and trust in Him makes us friends of God.

---

‭‭Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.

Romans 5:2 NLT‬‬

---

Jesus wants to share eternal life with His friends.

All we have to do is believe.

Trust, listen and obey. Walk in fellowship with God.

Be the Kingdom.

Be the manifest sons of God!

Father in Heaven, thank You for saving us. Thank You for the blood of Jesus which cleanses us from all our sins. Thank You for the Holy Spirit which assures us we will be saved. Thank You for redeeming our worthless lives and making us useful for Your purposes. Bless us this day with heavenly wisdom and the power to carry it out. In the Name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

‭‭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.

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.

So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.

Romans 5:9-11 NLT‬‬
