The Longings of Job for an Arbiter/Redeemer and their Fulfilment in the Man/God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

What the Holy Spirit is Revealing in our Study of Job

• Friends can become Miserable Comforters

• Ultimately, God is sovereign in His Will and Purposes

Why our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is our ultimate Friend and Comforter

• The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ reminds us that he became man to be our friend who showed us the greatest love of all (John 15:13, “No one has greater love than this—that one lays down his life for his friends.). He died for our sins and sent the Holy Spirit to be our Comforter, who intercedes for us when we pray (Romans 8:26, the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how we should pray.)

How the Holy Spirit Speaks to us through His Word

• Passages other than Job in the Bible—particularly those in the New Testament— encourage us to trust in our Arbiter and Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ

As some of us have mentioned, we have undergone trials and triumphs; but in our devotion to Jesus, we persevered. We are friends and family in this church, who have gone through sufferings together. Our sacrifices to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace enable us to be peacemakers. Here are some tips from the organization, ῾Peacewise῾ in how we can be united as a church.
