Bible Verses about 'God as friend'

so a friend sharpens a friend. - A friend is always loyal,
and a brother is born to help in time of need. - There are “friends” who destroy each other,
but a real friend sticks closer than a brother. - Never abandon a friend—
either yours or your father’s.

speaking the truth from sincere hearts.
Those who refuse to gossip
or harm their neighbors
or speak evil of their friends. - Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.

he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to.

he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross. - Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins.

as much as in riches.
