Quotes About Friendship With God

Obey God in the things he shows you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. God will never reveal more truth about himself until you have obeyed what you know already…this chapter brings out the delight of real friendship with God. ― Oswald Chambers

Let those be thy choicest companions who have made Christ their chief companion. ― Thomas Brooks

A rule I have had for years is: to treat the Lord Jesus Christ as a personal friend. His is not a creed, a mere doctrine, but it is He Himself we have.- D.L. Moody (for more quotes by D.L Moody click here)

The good man has his enemies. He would not be like his Lord if he had not. If we were without enemies we might fear that we were not the friends of God, for the friendship of the world is enmity to God. ― Charles Spurgeon

God’s love tells us that He is friendly, and His Word assures us that He is our friend and wants us to be His friends. No man with a trace of humility would first think that he is a friend of God; but the idea did not originate with men. Abraham would never have said, “I am God’s friend,” but God Himself said that Abraham was His friend ― A. W Tozer (for more quotes from Tozer click here)

True worship is when a person, through their person, attains intimacy and friendship with God. ― William Temple

Socrates once said, “Friend? There is no friend.” But Socrates didn’t know about the one whom the Bible describes as “a friend who sticks closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24). Of course, I am speaking of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the greatest friend that any of us ever will have.

The steady discipline of intimate friendship with Jesus results in men becoming like Him. ― Harry Emerson Fosdick

There will always be someone willing to hurt you, put you down, gossip about you, belittle your accomplishments and judge your soul. It is a fact that we all must face. However, if you realize that God is a best friend that stands beside you when others cast stones you will never be afraid, never feel worthless and never feel alone. 
― Shannon Alder

I want to share two facts about friendship with you. Fact number one: you were destined to have Jesus as your best friend. The Word of God tells us that this was ordained before the foundation of the world. Friendship with Jesus is the will of God concerning you ― Kenneth Hagin

For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God. ―Teresa of Avila

Do you wish to be a friend of God? Well, then, first you must be fully reconciled to Him. Of course, you cannot remain His enemy and be His friend—that is clear enough. If you are pardoned through the sacrifice of Jesus, if you are justified by His righteousness, if you are regenerated by His Spirit, you are no longer God’s enemy, yet that will not entitle you to be called the friend of God. It will entitle you to call God your friend, and your helper, but you must go further than that, if you would be His friend.
Love must be created in your heart, gratitude must beget attachment, and attachment must cause delight. You must rejoice in the Lord, and maintain close communion with Him. ― Charles Spurgeon

“If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning… Face it, friend. He is crazy about you! ” 
― Max Lucado

Every friendship with God and every love between Him and a soul is the only one of its kind. ― Janet Erskine Stuart

“Never forget that God is your friend. And like all friends, He longs to hear what’s been happening in your life. Good or bad, whether it’s been full of sorrow or anger, or even when you’re questioning why terrible things have to happen.” 
― Nicholas Sparks

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer! ― Joseph Scriven (hymn)
