A Biblical Perspective on Suffering from Job
Series Special
All suffering for the Christian is filtered by our Sovereign
Suffering has the purpose of conforming us to Christ
ultimately the causation was from God
When we suffer we don't blame God but instead we worship
this is probably when your worship will be most pure
Purifies our faith and makes us more Christ-like
some grow the most when they are in trials (1 Pet. 1:6-7)
Suffering should not surprise us and God's Spirit rest in a special way when you suffer (1 Pet. 4:12-14 | 2 Cor 1:3-4)
When we suffer we must entrust ourselves to God in times of suffering (1 Pet. 4:19)
Trust in God and continue to do what is right
Our suffering isn't always for our sin
God has purposes we know not of (John 9:2)
Jesus is the answer for all human suffering
Job 9:33 - even Job recognized he needed a mediator
The work of Christ will one day ultimately eradicate suffering
Job 25:4 - The answer is Jesus
