assumptions
1]if i am godly, i won't have to suffer--- if job's comfortable life was taken, he would turn on god--satan thinks as believers, we should expect to suffer we cant say if were good enough we wont suffer, jesus did
satan has no power without god allowing it
2]my suffering is about me and the here and now
jobs suffering was meant to develop trust in the god he loves
peter too n his usefulness for christ
jesus on the cross..glorify the father thru the son
god intends your suffering to be a magnificent demonstration of his glory,
1 peter 4:13
jobs friends say hes getting what he deserves, less than, for his secret sin
3]our suffering is the result of god punishing us for our sin
never, all the punishment you deserve was taken by jesus
isaiah 53;5
suffering endurance comes by knowing its purposeful, never random n out of love
makes you fruitful
4]what i need most from god is relief from my suffering and answers to my questions
He intends to conform us to His image
We are promised a purpose for our suffering
hes the creator n i'm the creation that he can do whatever with
so we can see god for who he is
see gods glory at center of everything
thank god for all weve been given n not deserved
in a fair world, thered be no room for grace n mercy
