Spiritual Friendship
Tim Keller | March 1, 1998
Overview
The gospel of Jesus Christ creates and calls us into spiritual friendships. It sends you deeper into the heart of other brothers and sisters in Christ, giving you profundity and intimacy of relationships beyond anything you ever thought was possible with any other human being. This passage from the book of Acts appears to be a travelogue of the life of Paul, but in it we see principles of spiritual friendship: 1) Spiritual friendships are needed by all people; 2) they’re discovered through the immediate bond of the love of Jesus Christ; 3) they’re created through shared faith, prayer, possessions, feelings, and decision-making; 4) and will last forever.
