Backsliding

“Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, 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,” James 5:19-20.

Every one of us knows a Christian who has backslidden.

The Bible says that if we help a Christian get back on track with God, we’ll “save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.”

Today’s encouragement is to consider a backslidden Christian that you know and to encourage him or her to come back to the faith. While it may take much more than that, a simple encouragement may go a long way in turning him or her back to the truth.
