Dear Victorious,
What is a good way for Christians to define friendship? Is true love really necessary for a friendship to be real?

Dear Carmen,
Yes, I think love is necessary for any relationship to be real. (After all, the Bible says that even our relationship with our enemies should include love!) A good way to define a friendship though is perhaps by looking at two possible dimensions of such a relationship.
1. A true friend is someone who will actually do anything for you ... at any time.
2. A true friend is someone who knows the worst that there is to be known about you ... and accepts you anyway.
As you can see, both of these possible dimensions have love as their basis. I frankly can't imagine a friendship that wouldn't.
