Text: James 5:13-16

In this letter James is focused on practical Christian living and stresses that we are not to just be hearers of the word, but in fact we are to be doers of the word. While stressing that we are not saved by our good works; our good works are evidence that our faith is real and a faith without works is dead. He stresses that God is the giver of every perfect gift and that through various trials our faith is tested and we are to stand fast and not be double-minded. As we go through various trials he encourages his fellows brother and sisters in Christ to confess their sins to one another and pray for each other that they may be healed.
