GOD’S FRIENDSHIP:
1. Unique in the universe – the greater taking the lesser.
2. Bigger than life – takes up all of your life in a lifetime, eternal.
3. Redeeming plan – friends become partners.

PRO 18:24 One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

JESUS’ OFFER OF FRIENDSHIP
JOHN 15:13-15 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
