In James 5:14-16, the ministry of healing is also associated with the ____.

• A. Worship
• B. Miracles
• C. Prophecy
• D. Forgiveness of sins

Answer: (D)

The key idea here is that healing in this passage is tied to spiritual restoration through forgiveness of sins. James 5:14-16 shows elders praying over the sick and anointing with oil, and it explicitly states that if the person has sins, they will be forgiven. Confessing sins to one another and praying for each other further connects the healing process with repentance and reconciliation with God, highlighting that healing encompasses both body and soul.

So, the ministry of healing is associated with forgiveness of sins because the text links physical healing directly to the forgiveness of sins and encourages confession as part of that healing. The other options don’t align with what the passage emphasizes here; worship, miracles, and prophecy aren’t the central connections made in this context.
