Friend of God

Thinking this morning how God doesn’t want us to be always grovelling and saying sorry when we meet Him (I’m not negating repentance which is very important when sin has occurred). He wants us to be His friend, to walk in all that He has achieved for us. He wants us to begin to believe in what He has made our position to be. To believe that we are His friends, heirs, seated in heavenly places, with authority, rest, and victory.

Satan is forever trying to convince us that what the bible says about our identity in Christ isn’t really true. He’s very good at making us feel like we’re not what Jesus has really made us to be. So, we live way below where we could be. So, it’s time to be a friend of God and begin to believe what the Bible says about us. We wouldn’t want a friend who is always apologising when we see them because they don’t feel like they are living up to our expectations. Well, God doesn’t either. Besides they’re mostly our expectations and the enemy’s or other people’s expectations that concern us, not God’s. He wants to be our friend.
