 The Story of Job Describes the Need to Persevere With Fidelity to GOD Almighty

Positive Christianity Series Episode #200


In the story of Job, the accuser envies Job for his zealous worship of GOD Almighty and increase of favor and blessings. We read in the start of the story that Job is righteous and favored. The favor of Job causes the envy of the accuser who goes to GOD Almighty and falsely accuses Job of only loving GOD Almighty because of his resources. The accuser wanted to destroy Job without reason. We learn that GOD Almighty does not destroy Job and guards him from the envy of the accuser. We learn that Job goes through difficulties because of the envy of the accuser. We learn that his children die and his resources are stolen or destroyed. A few of his servants make it out and tell Job about the negative events that had occured.

Job learns about the events and perseveres trusting in GOD Almighty despite adversity. The story of Job is significant because while not knowing all the details, Job trusted in GOD Almighty with complete unwavering devotion. Job did not know that it was the accuser who actually loathed Job because of his righteousness and favor from GOD Almighty. We learn that instead of renouncing his faith based on adversity, Job perseveres with fidelity to GOD Almighty.

We learn that Job's wife tells Job to renounce his faith and hate GOD Almighty. Job tells his wife that she sounded like a foolish person. Job's friends also doubt Job's innocence and righteousness. We learn that most of the story of Job describes Job's fidelity to GOD Almighty despite the doubts of his friends. Most of the story of Job describes Job having conversations with his friends and being able to worship GOD Almighty despite adversity and tribulation. Job describes how he is righteous and keeps worshiping GOD Almighty. Job's friends doubt Job's righteousness and accuse him of having committed grave sin. We learn that they doubt how can a righteous person be righteous if they are going through adversity. We learn that Job is righteous and that the difficulties were because of the envy of the accuser. Eliphaz, one of his friends, doubts Job. Eliphaz tells Job that the righteous do not have difficulties; therefore, Job must be lying and commiting sin. 

"As I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same. By the breath of GOD they perish and by the blast of his anger they are consumed."- Job 4: 8-9

Job acknowledges that he can not trust in his friends because they doubt the truth. Even when he is doubted by his wife and friends, Job keeps worshiping GOD Almighty. Instead of doubting the Creator and LORD of all, Job doubts his wife and friends. We learn that in these times, the worst is not being single and not having friends, but the worst would be having a spouse or significant other that wants to lead to idol worship and false "friends" of convenience that want to lead to idolatry. Job's story instructs on the need to trust GOD Almighty instead of false "relationships" and false "friends" of convenience. We know that in these times prior to the great tribulation and/or the great tribulation, it is better to trust in GOD Almighty than in false "relationships" and "friends". We also know that there are false prophets and idolatrous adulterors in these times, so it is better to trust in GOD Almighty. If something wants to lead to idolatry, then we do not need it. Job never doubts GOD Almighty but doubts his friends. Job describes that his friends were doubting Job and did not trust Job. Job describes that his friends were treacherous since they did not believe Job's innocence and thought that he had commited grave sin. Job never doubts GOD Almighty and keeps faith despite his difficulties. Job is impressive because not knowing that the envy was from the accuser, Job perseveres trusting GOD Almighty. 

"He who witholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty. My brothers are treacherous as a torrent-bed, as torrential streams that pass away which are dark with ice, and where the snow hides itself. When they melt, they disappear; when it is hot, they vanish in their place."- Job 6: 15-17

"In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind."- Job 11: 10
