Message
Jesus is the best Friend anyone could ever have because He showed His love for us by dying on the cross. He did this so we can be close to God and have eternal life. To be Jesus’ friends, we need to accept Him into our hearts and trust Him.
Friendship with Jesus is not just about how we feel, but about obeying Him and following what He says. Jesus loves us and wants us to listen to Him, live for Him, and share His love with others. A true friend cares for you and helps you, and Jesus is that Friend Who wants to walk with us and guide us through life.
Being Jesus’ friends means we show it by obeying His word and doing what He says. Every time we choose to do what Jesus wants, we show Him we are His Friends. To become a friend of Jesus, a sinner must realize his sinfulness, repent, ask for forgiveness and cleansing of his sins with the blood of Jesus. Then he will sincerely ask Jesus into his heart to be his personal Saviour and Lord. If you have not taken this important step, do it now.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Jesus, thank You for making me Your friend. Help me to follow You and share Your love with others.

James 2:21-24
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
