(James 5:19-20 NKJV) Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, {20} let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.
Talking to someone who has strayed from God is never an easy thing. Nobody really likes to bring someone face to face with their sin or their backslidden condition.
But if we listen to God and He tells us to do this, we need to move on it. Doing so can save a soul from eternal death and separation from God.
The most important thing is that we do this only when God tells us to. Many times we try to play God’s part and speak when He hasn’t told us to speak.
We all know someone who has turned away from God. Maybe someone reading this right now is one of those people. If you know someone and God tells you to speak, be sure to listen for Him to give you direction.
If you’re someone who has walked away from God, open your heart and listen. He wants you back, no matter what you’ve said or done.
Remember… this is about eternity.
