Are YOU A Friend Of God?

Mar 23, 2025    Chris Foster

Are we truly friends of God? This profound question challenges us to examine the depth of our relationship with our Creator. The message explores the delicate balance between reverence and intimacy in our walk with God. We're reminded that the fear of the Lord isn't about being terrified, but about having a deep reverence and awe for His holiness. The story of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac serves as a powerful illustration of true obedience and friendship with God. This challenges us to consider: what are we willing to surrender to deepen our relationship with Him? The message urges us to move beyond a superficial 'buddy' relationship with God and instead cultivate a friendship rooted in obedience, reverence, and genuine intimacy. It's a call to strip away distractions and self-will, allowing ourselves to be transformed by His presence. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to examine our hearts and ask: are we truly trembling at His word and presence?
