> [!bible]- James 5:19-20
> ![[Jas 5#19..20]]
> Not all who wonder is lost
Not bible but Lord of the Rings, James here says something similar.
We all have experienced times in our lives were we have strayed from Christ.
Who is James talking to?
- Poeple of the faith
- James is speaking of a second death
- People in the church and who are not saved?
## The Reality
Everyone wonders, but
![[Heb 2#1..1]]
![[1John 2#19..19]]
You are either a Christ follower or you are not.
There are people in the church who are not truly saved.
John Piper Quote
Larry Sanger Faith tweet
![[Matt 7#21..21]]
How do I know if I truly saved?
For most when you wonder you have a desire to come back.
James is saying "Go get the wanderer"
The responsibility is one us, the believers in the church.
This means we need to be deeply involved with the body of Christ. How else how would we know.
![[Gal 6#1..1]]
![[Gal 6#10..10]]
If our church fails these passages are pointing to where we failed.
==**We need to ask ourselves who have we gathered with?**== - We have to do better
![[1Pet 4#8..8]]
## The result
![[Jas 5#20..20]]
Paul, so that I may save some. #TODO Find verse
God used the members of the church to keep each other safe.
The whole book of James calls us to be active in the church.
"Be doers of the word" #todo get verse
