But then we must be living as His friends. I am still a child even when a wanderer, but friendship depends upon the conduct. Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you (John 15:14). Dost thou not see how the faith worked together with his works, and the faith was complete by the works? And that the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness, and he was called the Friend of God (James 2:22-23).
