Friends with Benefits

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Friends with benefits (FWB) is an agreement between two people who are both friends and physically attracted to one another to have a sexual relationship. Neither party is considered committed to the other, and both can start dating someone else at any time with no prior warning. A friends with benefits arrangement is not considered dating, a relationship, or even casual dating by most people who use the term.

As Christians, we have a friend with benefits relationship. We are in agreement with this person and we are attracted to one another. But unlike the world’s definition, we have both an emotional and relational permanence in this relationship that is eternal.

Psalm 103 says we are not to forget the benefits of our friend:
He forgives all our sins (vs 3), He heals all our diseases, He redeems us from the pit (vs 4), He crowns us with faithful love and compassion, He satisfies us with goodness (vs 5), He executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed (vs 6), He is slow to anger and full of faithful love (vs 8). But from eternity to eternity His faithful love is toward those who fear Him (vs17)

Who is this Friend with Benefits? God is. He calls us friend (John 15:14). We are the apple of His eye (Zechariah 2:8). He will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 15:5b). He loves us with an eternal love (Psalm 103:17). You know what; I’ll take this friend with benefits, how about you?

That’s It Right There!!
