MAKE SURE YOUR FRIENDSHIPS HONOR GOD—read 1 John 1:7
What is the key to having a friendship that honors God? First, make sure that you are walking in obedience to God, “living in the light of God’s presence”. If you are not committed to obeying God, then you will probably make friends with those who also lack this commitment. Any relationship that does not encourage you to live obediently to God and entices you to sin, dishonors God.
On the other hand, if you are committed to obeying God, you will seek out friends who are also committed to Him. As you walk with those who share the same love for the Lord as you have, you will be filled with joy and have greater impetus to keep from sinning. And your friendships will honor God.
