If somebody could overpower one alone, two together could make a stand against him. And a threefold cord cannot quickly be torn in two.—Eccl. 4:12.

If

somebody could overpower one alone, two together could make a stand against him. And a threefold cord cannot quickly be torn in two.—Eccl. 4:12.

The strongest friendships are founded on a love for Jehovah. When Jehovah is the third cord in a friendship, that friendship will endure. True, those who do not love Jehovah can also form rewarding friendships. But when individuals are drawn together by a mutual love for God, their friendship will be unshakable. If misunderstandings arise, true friends will treat each other in a way that pleases Jehovah. If opposers of God try to cause divisions, these enemies discover that friendships among true Christians are unbreakable. Throughout history, servants of Jehovah have proved their willingness to face death rather than betray one another. (1 John 3:16) Without a doubt, the most satisfying friendships we can enjoy are with those who love Jehovah.
