Description
This book looks into the sufferings of Job, a man whom GOD testifies to be perfect and upright, (as a son of GOD) one that feared GOD and withdrew from all evil. A great deal of attention is given to the fruitless counsel of his three friends who tried to convince Job that his afflictions have come as a result of his sins (But they never told Job what his problem WAS, so he could repent. They took the devil’s part by just accused Job of sin.). Job fully denies their accusations (Job had no idea he was walking in sin as we are sometimes blind about until the Spirit can wake us up) and counters with a testimony of his lifelong faithfulness to serving GOD (is this pride too?) and being a source of good will and righteous conduct to those around him. Two causes of suffering are presented in this study: the one, the sure consequences of a man’s sin under the principle of “You reap what you sow.” The hidden purpose of this brand of suffering is “for the perfecting of the saints to become an overcomer of all sin and be led by the Spirit of GOD.” The other reveals the purpose behind a man suffering for righteousness’ sake. At the end when Job comes face to face with his Creator a miraculous change takes place in his life. All pride and self-righteousness are stripped from him from the suffering it took GOD the Father to get Job’s attention to cause Him to repent and turn from the self-righteousness he was walking in (Job 32:1). Because of his deep repentance GOD raises Job up as an intercessor for his accusing friends, and He restores all to Job that was lost and then some.
