Jesus said, "I no longer call you servants, for a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from My Father I have made known to you." (John 15:15 NIV)
“Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” (John 17:3 NIV)
We talk about God in the third person. We teach about God. However, we don't teach about our spouses or about our good friends. We introduce them, not teach about them. Too often we relate to God as a myth or a theorem to be talked about and not as a friend to be introduced.
