God is our friend. Friendship with God is not earned by human effort, it’s God’s gift to us through faith in the person and work of his son Jesus. God always forgives us when we ask. The Bible is our manual for living. Prayer changes us and sometimes our circumstances. Building relationships with other friends of Jesus in small groups, helps to keep us spiritually healthy. God gives every person a spiritual gift. We must discover the gift and use it to help others. God cares immensely about people who don't yet know about his son Jesus. God expects us to tell others about Jesus. God cares about all relationships. A healthy relationship between men and women includes fidelity in marriage and celibacy in singleness. Giving back a tithe of our money to God, pleases God, helps others, and keeps us from being selfish. God cares about people who are hurting and we must care too. Great things can happen, in us and through us, when we respond to God’s friendship. Because of Jesus, God will always be our friend in life and in death.
