TRUE FRIEND
TRUE FRIEND
Scripture was before the foundation of the world.
John 5:13, “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command. 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. 17 This is my command: Love each other.”
Solomon who lived 1000 years before the arrival of Jesus, wrote 3000 proverbs.
The Redemption of the Creation was already rehearsed by the Maker of humanity in the life Israel.
Scripture is perfectly clear; Adam was the first Temple of the Creator where God rested on the 7th day.
Since the day Adam lost the Holy Spirit; The Redemption plan was unfolding for humanity through chosen servants throughout the history of mankind.
King David was a Type of Jesus and His Son Solomon who completed the Temple for his God is a type of the Holy spirit.
The Ransom for the Redemption for all humanity was Pre-Paid by Jesus and Dispersed by The Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. [A]
Proverbs 17:17, A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of adversity.
A true friend loves, gives wise counsel, remains loyal, forgives, and promotes the other’s welfare.
The only Human born to this earth who fits all the above aspects is the “Good Samaritan”
The parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 16:10, Jesus explained to his disciples while he was on earth, that fit the description of this human. [A]
Prerequisite of a true friend on earth is one who has received the “Born again Spirit of the one who Died for you.
No other Deity in heaven or earth have this power to forgive.
The True Friend and Brother who shall be born in you and live in you in time of Adversity or Victory is Jesus.
This is our Redemption from this world to the Shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91), the Body of Christ.
The day Jesus walks into your life, you are a new creation.
Revelation 3:14, “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.”
No one can speak for the dead, yet to the living, still have the opportunity to love. The faithful are absolutely certain the day of Rapture is almost at hand.
Revelation 3:20, “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.”
The 7th Church on earth before the return of Christ is the Church of Laodicea. The time line given to the faithful who shall inherit the new earth.
My Christianity shall end on the day of Rapture, there will not be another chance for the Gentiles.
