Faithful Friends (1 Samuel 20) | Jude Henderson

In 1 Samuel 20, we saw what faithful friends look like in the relationship of Jonathan and David. They not only had superficial things in common such as being Israelites, brothers-in-law, and men of war, but they also were men of God who walked with the Lord. Their shared, deep-rooted faith in God is what they built their friendship on. We must also ensure that our friendships are founded in a relationship with God. Because of this foundation, we saw that David and Jonathan were not passive with one another, but able to love sacrificially and intentionally. So then, in order to cultivate meaningful friendships, we must continually remember and live out God’s purposes in our friendships by choosing to love our friends sacrificially.
