This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.
Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
You are My friends, if you do the things that I command you.
I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his Lord doth. But I have called you friends. Because all things, whatsoever I have heard of My Father, I have made known to you.
You have not chosen Me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you.
These things I command you, that you love one another.
I love this piece of Scripture. Isn't our God amazing He does not call us 'servants' but friends.
ReplyDeleteOur Loving God Honours us much more than many honour Him sadly.
