    What does the Bible say about true friends? Will you be persecuted if you live godly in Christ Jesus?

    There are other people who are your friends only when they need you. Yet, there are friends in need and are friends in deed. A true friend is the one who is there for you even if you do or do not need them.

    There is a song that involves true friends: " Keep smiling, keep shining. Knowing you can always count on me, for sure. That's what friends are for. For good times and bad times, I'll be on your side forever more. That's what friends are for." Yes! For good and bad times, they will always be on your side to support you. That's what friends are for; that is a mark of a true friend.

    But, there are friends who pretend to be your friend. There are friends who are your friends when they only have need (money, fame, etc...) of you.

    The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.
    -Proverbs 14:20

    See? Even the Bible says that the rich have many friends-- those friends are the ones who have used you for money. There are also friends who would hate you when you have started listening, reading (or living with) the words of God.

    Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
    -2 Timothy 3:12

    Even those who are anti-christ (or agnostic), you will not be unified by them, because they are servant who used to be greater than their master.

    If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
    -John 15:19-20

    To God be all the glory.

    Yes, I'm a true friend until the end. I have had people that have ended friendships with me come back and tell me that I was the best & realist friend they ever had and they hate that they let people or other things end our friendship. They want it back but I can't because God want let me. I let God lead my foot steps in choosing friend and everything in life because I know I'm always going to treat them the way I would want to be treated so why not be true to them like I am to myself.

    Yes, I am a true friend. Honestly, all of my friends are lucky to have me. I will never judge what they do, I will always be there to support them no matter what happens. I'm the type of friend you can call at 3 o'clock in the morning just for advice. When it comes to friendship, it's no joke.

    I consider myself to be a true friend, But I can't seem to find a true human friend for me, the only real true friend that I have is my Heavenly father
    he is the only friend that does not judge me, does not talk about me and never disapoints me. He the only one that I can confine my true feelings, and he never abandons me. He guides me through the right path and discipline me with loving hands. I can talk with him whenever I want and he is never too busy to Listen. So he is the only true friend I need.

    Of Course, I am true friend. After all what is the definition of true friend?. The first sign of true friend is that he makes the friendship without selfishness. Secondly he will be always there to support you, whenever there is a need. He will equally participate in your moments of joy and sorrow. We can share our secrets or anything that is confidential with our true friends only. Sometimes, in a life we find ourselves in such a situation that we can neither share the same with our parents nor with our spouse but often we discuss it with our true friend. In daily routine of life we just neglect the importance of our true friend and often we take him for granted. Sometimes, we also borrow money when we are in financial crisis without hesitating and feeling guilty. This is the power of true friends.

    I like to believe I'm a true friend toward everyone I meet. My goal is to make sure those I love KNOW that I am there for them 110%, and many of my friends can attest to just that. I pray for my friends daily, am always there to lend an ear; I've even woken up out of my sleep at 2am to talk to a crying friend. Don't even get me started on trying to send them money when they need it lol. I'd just hope that in any occasion, I'd receive the same if ever needed.
