In effect, we learn from God, only what we put into our lessons. First, we must avoid the evil companionship of the world, wherever possible. Second, it is our responsibility to seek out the counsel of the Word of God. Remember, God never gives us commands or responsibilities that are impossible or grievous to be borne. If we fulfill our twofold responsibility, we will always be fruitful and prosper.
Christian friends share a common goal of reaching the Celestial City.
A common fellowship of the Word of God is shared in True Christian Friendship, to which the nominally professed Christian pays but lip service. Dwelling in the midst of a Laodicean Church, it is especially important that True Christian Friends keep the bonds of fellowship strong with those who are serving on the same front. Remember, our obligation to minister the Word to each other is a mutual bond of love. For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. Seeking out the fellowship and friendship of the Godly helps to keep us from forming wrong attachments to the world.
