Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other … |
—from James 5:16 |
As followers of the Great King Jesus, we Christians have a significant responsibility to show our love and concern for our fellow believers. God has called us to Himself and made us brothers and sisters. There are many concerns we share with each other. Among them is the concern that the Apostle James offers in this advice for believers, as recorded in part from James 5:16:
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
That seems like very good advice to me. Of course, the person to whom we choose to confess must be someone trustworthy, who will keep our confession in confidence.
Even so, as we begin this new day, let’s decide to follow this advice and do what the Apostle suggests. If we do, we will gain a significant benefit. Okay?
