That We May Know Him

Who is True

Through the Bible – Message 18

Through the Bible – Message 18

Job-2

The book of Job reveals that suffering cannot always be explained by the simple assumption that hardship is the result of personal sin. Job’s friends repeatedly judged, accused, and misinterpreted him, while God saw something they could not see. Job was a godly man, yet hidden beneath his righteousness was spiritual pride that God used suffering to expose. Rather than answering Job through accusation, God revealed His greatness, sovereignty, wisdom, and power until Job was humbled and could say that he had once only heard of God but now had seen Him. The lesson warns believers against criticism, self-righteous judgment, and speaking truth without love, while showing that God can use suffering to produce humility, worship, compassion, and deeper knowledge of Himself.

1 John 5:20

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
