Divine Friendship James 4:8 encourages us to draw close to God. Jehovah personally invites you to cultivate a close friendship with him. How can you do that? The best way to start is to learn more about him from the Bible. John 17:3 says, And this is eternal life: [it means] to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You, the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent. (John 17:3 Amplified Version) What you learn about Jehovah will move you to love him, and that love will, in turn, motivate you to do his will. 1 John 5:3 says, For the [true] love of God is this: that we do His commands [keep His ordinances and are mindful of His precepts and teaching]. And these orders of His are not irksome (burdensome, oppressive, or grievous). (1 John 5:3 Amplified Version) As you draw closer to your heavenly Father, how will he respond? James continues: [God] will draw close to you. Culled from The Watchtower, November 1, 2014. Page 6
