The Bible contains several examples of close friendships and also talks about the need to choose your friends wisely.

“One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” Proverbs 18:24 (NIV)

Some people go through life without ever having a friend that close, so if you do have a friend like that you can feel blessed!

The Bible also tells us that God sent Jesus to be our friend; more than that, to be the one who can save us from death itself!  No human can do that for us, but God can. It’s definitely worth reading your Bible to find out how!
