Praying for Sinful Brothers

by Sarah Wootten Corinth Missionary Baptist Church

One of the basic truths of the Christian faith is that all sins deserve the punishment of death (Romans 6:23). Because God is holy, just, and righteous, all sin must be punished. No disobedience is small enough to escape God’s wrath. However, John wrote, “If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; l do not say that one should pray for that. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death,” (1 John 5:16-17, ESV).
So some sins don’t lead to death? Isn’t that a contradiction to Romans 6:23? Initially, we may wonder if John is in agreement with the rest of the Bible, but when we consider the entire letter, the meaning becomes clearer.
