YOU ARE GOD’S FRIEND

And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto
him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God." James 2:23 (KJV)

Beloved, God Himself puts it in His register that Abraham is righteous, and He called him
His friend. The question is: What did Abraham do? Abraham believed what God said and
acted on it, and God recorded that he was righteous. So, it is in believing what God has said
and acting on it wholeheartedly that God's kind of righteousness is attained. God's
righteousness declares us guiltless of any form of ungodly acts by virtue of our belief in the
redemptive work and finished acts of God through His son Jesus.

God called Abraham out from an idol-worshipping background at an old age with a promise
to make him a great nation, bless him, make his name great, and make him a blessing.
Abraham believed and started following God. Then God said because of this action, you
(Abraham) are my friend. God Almighty, the Creator of the universe, called him friend! You
too can become God's friend today if only you will receive His word, believe it, and step out
in faith. Decide now to do something with the word of God you hear. Don't just be a hearer.
Be a doer also because it is the doer of the word that is blessed in his deeds.

When God calls you out it is because He has a plan for your life. It is because He desires that
you partake in His glory. God did not save you for nothing. He did not call you to Himself to
be disgraced. He called you to glorify you. That is why He said you are no more a servant but
a friend.

I charge you today to believe His word and act on it because it doesn’t have any margin for
failure. Live continually in the confident assurance that you are God's friend, and nothing
shall be impossible for you. The word of God will not fall to the ground in your life; you will
do something with it.
