Jesus, in all His awesomeness and glory, has spoken clearly to all, and those who bow to him, He calls them "friends."
Revelation 2:1-7
Revelation 1:1-8
How do we respond to Christ's love for us? Loving Him beyond the checked boxes of the faith.
When we truly know Jesus for who He is and what He has done for us, then we'll treasure the grace and peace He has to offer.
