NOVEMBER 25, 2022 – Saved, or Sinner?

NOVEMBER 25, 2022
Daily Reading – Ezekiel 28-31 / James 5

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    There has long been a debate by bible scholars as to whom James is referring to in verse 20. Many think he is speaking of a saved soul who has wandered off into sin, as most of the book is about Christians walking in the light of God’s love and word. If so, the converted would be a saved soul in sin, who has been pointed back to Christ. The death would be a physical death as an ultimate chastisement for unrepentant sin. If, however, the converted soul was that of a lost person, the death would be that of a second or spiritual death and the sin is that of not accepting Christ.

    Saved or Sinner, all must be rescued. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

So, here’s a question. Should it matter to the person involved in the converting how God is using them to save?
