James 5:19-20
James concludes by encouraging us to be ready to take action when we see a brother or sister in spiritual peril. This world is as deceitful as ever. Christians can find themselves well down the wrong path before realizing what's happening. We need to watch out for each other and, drawing on the wisdom and power of the Bible, call one another to account. Doing so rescues souls from eternal condemnation.
