![]() ![]() The Bible has plenty to say about what friendship means, and how to be a good friend. Want to learn more about how to be a good friend, according to the Bible? Read on! What a great Bible lesson on friendship, between people and also between Jesus and us! Notice how Jesus himself calls the paralyzed man “friend”, and tells the man his sins are forgiven. When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.” When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. What love and dedication these men had, to make sure their friend could be healed by Jesus! Just look at the story of the paralyzed man and his helpers, in Luke 5:17-26. I encourage you to seek more Godly friendships in your life, and learn to be a good friend! It’s clear that what God says about friendship, is that it’s a very important and sacred relationship. The friendship we have is priceless.ĭo you have at least one friend like that?Īnd furthermore, are you being a true friend to others? My bestie is one of those people (you know who you are, girl!) She and I have known each other since childhood, and even when we’ve lost touch, done things we’re not proud of, or made messes of things, we always find our way back to each other. I don’t have to explain myself with them, or put on a show, or pretend like I have my life all together (I don’t!) I think if I could sum up a true friend in a nutshell, it would be that rare person who just gets me. ![]() They love me in all my sleepy, flawed mess, and they don’t judge or condemn me when I screw up. The best friends I have, are the few who truly know me and accept me as I am. ![]() We call plenty of people our ‘friends’, but how seldom to we find a TRUE friend?
