Jesus has friends. Are you one of them? He gives us a test concerning who his friends are.
14
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. John 15:14
Jesus Christ speaks very favorably concerning doing his will or commandments. He tells us he will count us as his friend if we do whatever he says. It seems like there would be a rush to know and to keep his commandments!
Yet it seems most believers feel negatively towards keeping Christ commands. According to the Jesus John fellowshipped with he held people in esteem who would keep his commandments.
