In this fourth message of our study on the book of Job, we will look at the following 10 profound lessons that we ought to learn from the long-term suffering of Job:
- Beware of theological statements that are superficial and wrongly applied
- Beware of a man-centred God and man-centred formulas for living before God
- Free the false popular theology that always sees suffering as related to specific personal sins
- Suffering and prosperity are not distributed in this world in proportion to personal evil or good
- Remember that God is still absolutely sovereign over all suffering and overall prosperity
- Remember God's wisdom is behind all appearances of severity and our betrayal in this world
- Don't be surprised by the sense of distance from God in the midst of your suffering
- Be careful in your complaints to God, but pour out your heart before Him
- Hold fast to God no matter what!
- Hold fast to the gospel no matter what!
