Title: God's Conclusion
Contents :
There are some people who go through life without much difference, but there are many things that are happening around us that can be expressed in words that are amazing. In the text, God introduces a man named Job as a man who was naive and upright, feared God, and turned away from evil by rejecting the land of Uz in the East. But in such a happy and successful family, a wonderful story happened out of the blue. He lost cattle, donkeys, sheep, camels, and all his children at once, and Job himself suffered from severe sores from the soles of his feet to his head, scratching himself with pieces of tile and suffering.
Where else could there be a more terrifying story?!
We would also like to share with you some surprising stories.
Jacob goes back to his father's house after 21 years of exile, and his older brother Esau comes out with 400 soldiers to behead Jacob. Joseph risked death for his brothers and came to them with necessities, but 10 brothers joined in and sold them over to the Midianites as Egyptian slaves. Daniel was honest and honest in his public office in Egypt and devoted himself to his country.
The amazing story of God giving up His Son to be torn and wounded and dying on the cross for sinners who will be destroyed because of their sins is also the grace of salvation. Some of the Christians introduced with Job did not live without experiencing a marvelous story, but through a marvelous story, they were reborn into a more mature and beautiful faith and personality.
First, they were refined into more brilliant people of God.
The people of God do not fail and fall into the abyss of despair through this wonderful story, but rather are trained and reborn as people of beautiful faith. In spite of this amazing story, Job worshiped God and did not sin. Rather, Joseph concentrated on protecting himself more so that he would not sin against God, and rather comforted his brothers.
Second, they were victorious through patience and prayer.
When faced with terrible things, they endured bitterness, retaliation, discouragement, and complaining. They endured only with tears or crying out to God, the ruler of history, or fasting and repenting. In front of this wonderful story, Jacob remained alone at the Jabbok River Ferry and stayed up all night long, and Daniel prayed more faithfully to God without being shaken despite the wonderful story.
All these events show the heart of God who sent his only begotten Son, Jesus, to this earth.
God gave His Son on the cross to save us who are worthy of being destroyed and who are worthy of going to hell.
Dear saints, Even if you are faced with a difficult, difficult, and amazing story, never lose heart or despair, and I hope that you use it as an opportunity to be reborn as a more shining person of God. Please do not miss the line of prayer and pray with patience and victory.
