Job 42:7-17
“God wants to give your life a happy ending”

Recap of the major lessons from Job

Overall theme: Those who fear God will NEVER turn against Him
– Our relationship status with God is NEVER to be measured by our material or earthly blessings, but measured only by our fear of God and desire to obey Him

Righteousness vs sinlessness
– righteousness is attained by believing in what God has revealed to us
Job’s righteousness was a result of his fear of God
– sinlessness = complete perfection, holiness (Jesus!)

4 categories of suffering:
1) Suffering caused by our own sin
Proper response: Repentance and faith in Jesus for our forgiveness

2) Suffering caused by sins committed against us
Proper response: forgive as we have been forgiven

3) Suffering as a result of living in a sinful, fallen, and broken world
Proper response: Remember that our hope is in eternal blessings in heaven as our inheritance through Christ

4) Suffering as a result of persecution
Proper response: Rejoice! Because persecution for the sake of righteousness is a sign that a Christian is genuinely and properly living out their faith regardless of who is watching. To be persecuted for the sake of Christ is a reassuring sign that the person fears God more than man.
