Bible Note: Dear Lionstrong, James 5:19-20 tells us, "Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins"(KJV). And how do we convert the sinner? We witness to them, about the power of the risen Christ. Do we need to actually, physically SEE the risen Christ? I believe we DO see the risen Christ in the lives of all true believers. After all, isn't that what Paul said in Gal. 2:20? "...Yet not I, but Christ LIVETH IN ME.[emphasis mine]" And again, he tells us that "All Scripture...is profitable for...instruction in righteousness."(II Timothy 3:16). How do we instruct someone in righteousness? We tell them of the free Gift of Grace, from God, through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. And yet again, I Thessalonians 5:27--"I charge you(Timothy, who had not seen the resurrected Christ) by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren."(KJV) Let me ask you this question: If the command was only to the 11 apostles(and later, Paul), how many believers would there be in the world today? None. Because after the generation following them died off, there would be no one left to preach the Gospel. True? 2nd Samuel 22 |
