Have You an Arm Like God? (eBook, ePUB)

A Thematic Study on the Character of the Saving Greatness of God in the Book of Job

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Job is a person lifted out of ancient history in dramatic fashion, addressing the most basic questions of life: Is God good and just? What does it mean to possess a secure relationship with God? How can security be obtained? The suffering of Job provides the impetus for a theological debate. Jobs friends believe his sins caused his troubles. Job refuses to submit to their hypocritical diatribes. He prefers an audience with God. He presumes to indict Gods testimony of justice in the world.

After his friends exhaust their efforts, a young man confronts Jobs magisterial presentation. He challenges Jobs declarations concerning Gods person and work. He prepares him to meet with true majesty. The Lord continues to challenge from a whirlwind. His first speech reinforces His power of justice, His ability to sustain life, and His design through creation, revealing the character of a God who oversees life with good intentions.

The second speech addresses Gods ability to judge and destroy the personality of evil. The center of this speech reveals a Messianic expression of hope. The way in which God introduces this testimony reinforces the understanding this Coming One is God Himself. The knowledge gained by Job propels him into a spirit of praise and worship, preparing him to minister as a priest for his erring friends.

Autorenporträt

This study on Job began as a thesis project for seminary in 1982. During research, the Lord awakened a new interpretive perspective regarding the Lord's speeches. Through the years, further research has expanded that perspective while attempting to integrate the different sections of Job with a more logical flow. The result has produced a view of Job's theme that magnifies the saving character of God and awakens a willingness to identify with his suffering.
