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.

![[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

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.
