James 5:19, 20
"19 My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, 20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins."
As we look at the very lst verses of James I am reminded of the importance of sharing the message of Jesus Christ with others. God has given us the mission of saving people from death. the reality of it all is that if people do not know Christ - they will spend eternity apart from Christ. God has left to us - His followers to point people to Christ and to live out our faith so that others can see.
This is a great responsibility but He does not leave us alone in accomplishing this mission. He has entered our life and lives within us. His Spirit lives within us and when we are responsive to His leadings we can be used to save lives. As we live out our faith in front of people - sometimes with warts and all and they can see that God is making a true difference in our lives and we combine that with a simple explanation of what God has done and is doing in our lives - the Spirit is able to take that and begin to lead them to Christ.
This is a our great mission - it is worth giving our lives to because it involves the eternity of people we know - love work with and with who we share this planet. Listen to the Spirit - look for opportunities to share and love and head out on a world changing rescue mission.

Amen. If I may add, folks don't be afraid to preach the gospel. You know we often get caught up well I don't want to offend this person. Guess what when there in hell crying and wishing they knew about the truth, whose fault is it?
