James 2:23
Abraham believe God. . .and he was called the friend of God.
Not long ago, I heard about this billboard along the highway: "God is an imaginary friend---choose reality. It will better for all of us."
Obviously; the bold statement compares Christian to children whose vivid imaginations invent a make believe companion. But is that what God is--an imaginary friend?
Actually, the evidence favors His reality ponder this ideas. The creation of the world shows there is a designer behind the universe (Roman 1:18-20). The conscience indicates a Lawgiver behind each human's sense of right and wrong (Romans 2:14-15). The creativity we expresses in music and art reflect the same attribute that the creator possesses (Ex.35:31-32). Christ's reveals what God is like in human form (He.1:2-4). And the communion or fellowship of the Holy spirit in the Christian heart manifests the reality of God (Gal. 5:22-23).
The Bible tells us there will be those who deny the reality of God (2 Peter 3:4-6). But James reminds us His reality and how an old Testament believers befriended Him:" Abraham believe God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.' And he was called the friend of God" (James 2:23). Have you met the redeeming God? He gave His Son to become your real eternal friend (John 15:15).
