The Power of Friendship in the Christian Life
Christian friendship finds its basis in the friendship between each believer and God. When John refers to fellow believers simply as "the friends" ( 3 John 15 ), he implies the loyalty and affection for one another that spring from loyalty and love for God. Dr. David Downing gives us a deeper understanding to the power of friendship and how it affects our Christian faith.
