Turn from Your Sins
James ends his letter by teaching about prayer. He advises those experiencing hardship to call upon the elders for support by asking them to pray for them and anoint them with oil in honor of Jesus Christ.
He reminds us of how faith-filled prayer heals those sick with disease and saves sinners, using Elijah as an example to demonstrate its potency and effectiveness.
Consecrating our sins to God with godly sorrow and making amends are two essential components of living an ethical, healthy lifestyle. His mercy extends freely to anyone who recognizes their wrongdoings before Him with humility.
