JOB 9

JOB RESPONDS TO BILDAD

Job replies to Bildad, providing truth about God and his character. Job knows that God is faithful to the righteous, although he wonders how someone can be righteous before God in a broken world. Although Job is a faithful person, he cannot be completely without sin compared to God’s perfection. Job says that he needs an arbiter, or someone to stand between him and God, to settle his sin. Job sees his need for a savior long before the life of Jesus!

Job believes that his friends' views of God are too limited and that none of them can comprehend God’s vastness and power. Job argues that because God created the universe, he can trust that God knows best how to rule it.
