Proverbs 17:17-"A friend loves at all times." That is a great verse. Welcome back to Jaquelle's Rose Garden. In this verse we learn about a great quality that a real friend has-love. If you've ever had a loving friend you know what it's like. When John writes his first letter, he tells the reader(s) to
love one another. We need to be a good friend and love one another. Love isn't the only quality that a good friend should have, though. A good friend, according to the Bible, should have the following qualities:
- Ready to lay down his life for you. (John 15:13) This means that your friend has your back and is ready to stand up for you at any time and any place.
- Never going to forsake you. (Proverbs 27:10) This friend is not going to disappoint you.
- Loves you. (Proverbs 17:17) Like I said before, a loving friend is a great friend.
These are just a few qualities that the Bible says a good friend should have. We know that the qualities of a good friend, that the Bible tells us, should be our main example to follow. Of course, our number one example to follow is the perfect friend, Jesus Christ.
