John 15:12 - 17 (NKJV)
"This is My commandment that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. These things I command you, that you love one another."
Ephesians 1:4 & 5 (NKJV)
Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.
1 John 3:8 (NKJV)
He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
Abba Father we are Your children, we are friends of Your Son Jesus Christ, we are family, may we walk daily in Your love, Your forgiveness, Your joy, Your peace and Your victory, the devil is a defeated foe and he has no place in our lives; it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we pray. Amen.
