Illness 4

Is any sick among you?  Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord.  And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord shall raise them up.   James 5:14-15

The elders' prayers will save the sick.

Is there a difference between saving the sick and healing the sick?  Yes.  Sometimes the recipient receives both saving and healing.  Sometimes not.

But the clear fact here is that James is pointing out that there are things worse than physical illness.  Like spiritual illness.

The prayer of faith will save the sick.  Why don't we do this much more often?
