One of the translations for "love" in Hebrew is "friend" [aheb].
Abraham was referred to as God's friend (II Chronicles 20:7; Isaiah 41:8; and James 2:23).
Proverbs 17:17 says a friend loves at all times. And later (18:24) it says, a friend sticks closer than a brother. Finally, Proverbs (27:10) exclaims: "Do not forsake your own friend."
James 4:4 explains "friendship with the world is enmity with God."
We can learn a lot about love through friendship:
1. Loving at all times
2. Loving is sticking together
3. Loving is not forsaking
