"I Have Called You Friends"

 FRIEND OF JESUS FOREVER 

Those who are anointed with holy spirit have the hope of being with Jesus forever. serving as joint heirs of God's Kingdom.  They will actually be with Christs-see him,, and spend time in his company.  (John 14:2, 3) Those with the earthly hope will also receive Jesus' love and attention.  Even though  they will not see Jesus, their bond with him will grow ever strongers as they enjoy the life that Jehovah and Jesus make possible for them. - ISAIAH 9:6, 7.

When we accept Jesus' invitation to become his friends we gain many blessings.  For example.we benefit from his love and support right now.  We are given the opportunity to live forever. And most important, our friendship with Jesuis  will lead us to the finest treasure of all - a close, personal relationsip with Jesus' Father, Jehovah.  What a privilege we have to be called jesus' friends!
