For Wednesday, December 10, 2025:
John 15:14 NLT, Jesus speaking: “You are my friends if you do what I command.”
Have you ever wanted to be one of the Apostles? Or at least a disciple who attended Jesus’ events and heard him speak? How do you become known as a friend of God?
As you might expect, nowadays it comes down to faith. Since Jesus returned to the Father, we can’t follow him around listening to his teaching. It’s our obedience to his commands that shows our commitment to friendship. Jesus (and his Father) gave us a model of how to live our lives. Our conformity to those instructions shows our level of friendship.
In this scripture, Jesus goes on to explain our friendship. He has confided in believers, teaching us what Father God taught him. We don’t confide in one another if we’re not friends. Therefore, each believer can proudly proclaim, “I am a friend of Jesus; I am a friend of God!
