What is a Friend?

 a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.  a person who gives assistance;  a person who is on good terms with another;

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.

Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?

17 A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.

This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

24 A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother

You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.

No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up.

Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
