As we grow in the Lord over the years we may notice the closer we stay to Christ in us and the more we wish to obey Christ the more friends we will lose. God will give us new ones in keeping with our new growth so that we do not go backward to keep those who do not want to move forward in holiness.
We would love for our old friends to come with us as we grow, but if they will not then we must move on, or the old friends will hold us back.
1 Peter 2:1-6 "2 Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander,
2 like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation,
3 if you have tasted [h]the kindness of the Lord.
As Living Stones
4 And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6 For this is contained in Scripture:"
