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.

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).
