Why is being called friends of God important?

Answered in 1 source

Being called friends of God signifies a personal and intimate relationship with Christ, establishing us as His chosen people.

In John 15:15, Jesus states, 'I have called you friends.' This declaration points to a deep relational aspect of our connection with Christ, where He shares knowledge and understanding of God's plans with us. Friendship with Christ signifies being part of His inner circle, where our interests and His align. It reflects our status as beloved children of God, akin to how Abraham was termed a friend of God in James 2:23. This friendship is foundational to our faith, allowing us to approach God with both reverence and intimacy.
