Why is calling Abraham a friend of God important?

Answered in 1 source

Abraham being called a friend of God illustrates the grace and relationship believers have with God through faith.

Abraham being referred to as a friend of God (James 2:23) is significant as it reflects the relational aspect of faith. This title acknowledges the grace bestowed upon him; he did not earn it, but God imputed righteousness to him because of his faith. This relationship serves as an example for all believers, showing that their faith is a gift from God. Without such grace, no one could be reconciled or considered God's friend, highlighting God's initiative in restoring the fractured relationship due to sin.
