In a letter on practical Christian living, what is the end objective for the believer? James lays out a what if scenario for us to consider. After all the advice he has provided on how a Christian should live, what happens if another believer continues to live in sin, to wander from the truth? James gives us an objective – those who continue in the truth are to pursue after that person to bring them back into a right relationship with God. We aren’t to stand idly by just praying for them, hoping they will come to their spiritual senses. We are to help guide them back into a right relationship with God which then results in a right relationship within the body of Christ. We are to be doers of the Word and not hearers only.
