Q. Seattle, Wash. — “Please explain James 5:20. Aren’t aU sins we con fess covered by the blood of Christ?” A. Yes, they certainly are! The verse you mention doesn’t indicate the con trary. In verses 19 and 20 we have two things mentioned. One is setting a brother right, while the other is leading an unsaved soul to Christ. In the second case, the soul is saved and the one who was instrumental in such deliverance has in a real sense kept that person from going to eternal perdition. This is the way “a multitude of sins” are hidden. Q. Dinuba, Calif. — “When the Lord comes, where and how will the bodies of the dead in Christ join their spir its which have been with the Lord?" A. It is by the miraculous power of the Lord. No finite mind can begin to comprehend it. As to where this glorious event takes place, we know that it will be “in the air.” At the same time, any believers who are alive at the translation will likewise receive their glorified bodies, likened to our blessed Lord’s. How long will all of this take? Scripture tells us it’ll be in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. There are a lot of ques tions we neither can answer or even begin to fathom this side of heaven. But we know assuredly that it will happen, because God’s Word posi tively asserts it! God knows all about the bodies that have since returned to dust; He’s the One who made them. Thank the Lord that we can wait expectantly for that hour. Q. San Bernardino, Calif. — “How can a Christian live more abundantly, more fruitfully? Why don’t you talk about I John 5:5 more often?” A. This verse reads, “Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” We concur with that one hundred per cent. We often comment
