Throughout history, God has chosen certain humans to be his close friends. For example, God called Abraham his friend. (Isaiah 41:8; James 2:23) God referred to David as “a man agreeable to my heart” because he was the kind of person God loves. (Acts 13:22) And God viewed the prophet Daniel as “someone very desirable.”—Daniel 9:23.
Why did God consider Abraham, David, and Daniel to be his friends? Well, he told Abraham: “You have listened to my voice.” (Genesis 22:18) So God draws close to those who humbly do what he asks of them. “Obey my voice,” he told the Israelites, “and I will become your God, and you yourselves will become my people.” (Jeremiah 7:23) Obedience to God is a prerequisite for his friendship!!
