John 15 - NLT Student Life Application Study Bible

15:15-16 Choosing Us as Friends Because Jesus Christ is our Lord and Master, he has the right to call us servants—but instead he regards us as friends. How comforting and reassuring that he not only chose us but also wants us to be his friends! Jesus made his choice—to love us, to die for us, and to invite us to live with him forever. Now it’s time for us to make our choice—to accept or reject his offer. Without the decision he made first, we would have no decision to make.
