Memory Verse: Ruth 1:16

Bible Text: John 15:14-16

¹⁴Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

¹⁵Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

¹⁶Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Lesson Introduction

A faithful friend is someone who is unwavering in his relationship with a person, an organisation or ideals, whose activity remains firm in the belief or support for them.

He is a person you know quite well and you like a lot, but not a member of your family. He is loyal, steadfast in affection or allegiance and consistently reliable.

Let us consider some biblical examples of faithful friends.

ii. Abraham displayed love to Lot and Sodom and Gomorrah – Gen. 18.

iii. Elisha displayed love to the case of the Shunammite woman – I Kings 4:32-37.

iv. Ruth cleaved faithfully to Naomi even in adversity, she showed affection.

v. Jonathan loved David as his own soul, he defended David – Il Sam. 19:1-7.

SPIRITUAL CHARACTER

I. Elisha stuck firmly to Elijah and received double portion – Il Kings 2:1-15.

ii. Timothy received an encounter by following Apostle Paul – II Tim. 2:1-5.

iii. Jesus loves His chosen friends (Disciple/believers) – John 15:13-15.

iv. Holy Spirit, through the outpouring of His gifts, reshapes us so we can be friends of God – Romans 5:1-5.
