EZRA WANT THANK ALL OUR FAMILY AND DEAR FRIENDS FOR READING AND FOLLOWING OUR POSTS. WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH, MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU ALL! ALSO THANKS FOR THE LIKES ON THE RECENT POSTED SCRIPTURE IN THE BOOK OF JAMES CH.5 V. 19-20, LETS HAVE BIBLE STUDY THIS MORNING. JAMES IS TALKING ABOUT A BELIEVER WHO HAS WANDERED FROM THE TRUTH, WHO HAS FALLEN INTO SIN-ONE WHO IS NO LONGER LIVING A LIFE CONSISTENT WITH HIS OR HERS BELIEFS. CHRISTIANS DISAGREE OVER WHETHER OR NOT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE TO LOSE THEIR SALVATION, BUT ALL AGREE THAT THOSE WHO FALL AWAY FROM THEIR FAITH ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE AND NEED TO REPENT. JAMES URGES CHRISTIANS TO HELP BACKSLIDDERS RETURN TO GOD. BY TAKING THE INITIATIVE, PRAYING FOR THE PERSON, AND ACTING IN LOVE, WE CAN MEET THE PERSON WHERE HE OR SHE IS AND BTING HIM OR HER BACK TO GOD AND HIS FORGIVENESS. JAMES IS EMPHASIZES FAITH IN ACTION, REMEMBER THE BIBLE SAYS FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD. RIGHT LIVING IS THE EVIDENCE AND RESULT OF FAITH. THE CHURCH MUST SERVE WITH COMPASSION, SPEAK LOVINGLY AND TRUTHFULLY, LIVE IN OBEDIENCE TO GODS, NOT MAN, NOT SELF, GODS COMMANDS, AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. THE BODY OF BELIEVERS OUGHT TO BE AN EXAMPLE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH, DRAWING PEOPLE TO CHRIST THROUGH LOVE FOR GOD AND EACH OTHER. IF WE SAY OR PROFESS THAT WE TRULY BELIEVE GODS WORD, WE WILL LIVE IT DAY BY DAY. GODS WORD IS NOT MERELY SOMETHING WE READ OR THINK ABOUT, BUT SOMETHING WE DO. BELIEF, FAITH, AND TRUST MUST HAVE HANDS AND FEET-OURS, YOURS AND MINES! I LOVE YOU, I PRAY THIS TEACHING WILL ENCOURAGE SOMEONE, ANYONE TO GO OUT AND BRING THEIR FALLEN LOVE ONES BACK TO GOD & HOME. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND WONDERFUL FRIENDS. LOVE, PEACE & EZRA! SJR.
