Job
Suffering, Faith & Hope

Job
Friends Job
All suffering is caused by sin I have not sinned, thank you very much
You are suffering So why I am suffering?
Therefore you have sinned. Therefore suffering cannot be the result of
sin
Admit your fault, repent of you sins, and I will not repent of something I haven’t done.
maybe Go will put everything to rights. And by the way, you lot are no help
whatsoever.

“Then the Lord
answered Job out
of the storm”

Why does Job not
give up?

Why does Job not give up?
Faith Hope

"If only my words were
written in a book,
better yet, chiseled in stone!
Still, I know that God lives
—the One who gives me back my life—
and eventually he'll take
his stand on earth.
And I'll see him
—even though I get skinned alive!—
see God myself, with my very own
eyes.

Without hope, faith cannot endure.
On the other hand, hope without
faith is blind rashness and arrogance
because it lacks knowledge. Before
anything else a Christian must have
the insight of faith, so that the
intellect may know its directions in
the day of trouble and the heart may
hope for better things. By faith we
begin, by hope we continue.

What do we have
faith and hope in?

Because of God’s love, and because
of what Jesus accomplished on the
cross and at the resurrection, and
because of the Holy Spirit living
inside of us transforming us from the
inside out, our best days are yet to
come to for the glory of God.
