works of mercy: pray for the living and the dead by ric gustafson
Romans 6:13 says that we yield ourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life and our members to God as instruments of righteousness. Our members to God include our tongues. God wants us to pray for the living and the dead through the power of the Holy Spirit. Praying for the living is hard because people have free will and are stubborn. Praying for the dead is important and comforting that we hope all people are safely in God's arms forever.
Thank you for being with me through exploring works of mercy.
