The Righteousness of Job

[Yarddog]

It seems like Job didn't think he deserved his sufferings but his friends did. Both were wrong.

It doesn't matter what he deserved, it occurred. But because it occurred, Job found a faith that he didn't have before. He found eternal rest in God.

As Paul says, whether we live or die, we do it for the Lord.

What was the sin of Job's friends?

Read chapter 42

I think of 1 Corinthians 4. The rich church looked down on the poor apostles as if they were fools. Maybe the poor apostles deserved their treatment like Job? but it's a blessing not a curse. The rich church are the ones who were wrong

Correct.
