Developing a Relationship with the Holy Spirit (3)

The Holy Spirit ‘With’ us:

When we think of someone being ‘with’ us it would be best if that someone was a friend. Jesus made a wonderful conditional promise about being a friend to us:

John 15:12-17 (NLT)

13

You are my friends if you do what I command.

I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.

17
This is my command: Love each other.
