Tests And Triumphs Of Faith: JamesEsimerkki

Day Four -The Triumph of Faith \- Read James 5:7-20 James encourages his readers to patiently endure the sufferings of the present life in view of the future prospect of the coming of the Lord ( James 5:7-12 ). Believers may be oppressed by the rich or by other circumstances; but as the example of Job teaches, they can be sure that God has a gracious purpose in His dealings with them. James concluded his epistle with some practical words on prayer and restoration ( James 5:13-20 ). The prayers of the righteous men (e.g. elders in local churches) are effective for the healing and restoration of believers. When sin is not dealt with, it can contribute to illness and even death.
