Job: The Bible Explained

If you have more questions about God and suffering or just want to learn more, we'd like to recommend a few resources: David's book, "When God Isn't There" focuses on those who feel far from God or feel like he is absent. This book talks about how God's absence and God's sovereignty over suffering are both for our good: amzn.to/32P7xI1 D.A. Carson's "How. Long O Lord?" is one of the best reflections of how to understand suffering and evil in the world. It not only offers a brilliant treatment of Job, but also addresses other difficult Biblical texts that deal with suffering: amzn.to/2vGchn3 For a powerful and relatable treatment of how to understand and walk through the relationship between God and suffering, we'd suggest Timothy Keller's, "Walking with God through Pain and Suffering": amzn.to/2TnJ1us Finally, for a very technical treatment of Job as a literary work, that also helps provide answers to the book's overall theology and contribution to questions about suffering, we suggest Robert. Fyall's, "Now My Eyes Have Seen You": amzn.to/2uTqCMJ

I just lost my kid brother, was believing Jesus for his healing ....it hurts Soo much, but I am choosing to serve God forever.

My parents divorced. It ruined the family. We lost our house. I went off to college and then my dad's place burns down and because of bills from the forclosed house he couldn't pay the insurance bill so I dropped out even after working hard to be a deans list student and go back and help my Dad. Not long after his mother died and then his father. My high school best friend killed himself and two months and a day later my college best friend killed himself. I was homeless. Sleeping in a slide and some of my "friends" had made a mocking and cruel comment on twitter while I'm laying there crying and they are warm in bed with all their earthly needs met...my stomach hurts. When things start looking up I find out my "business partner " had been lying and manipulating me. I left with nothing after years of hard work. I've wanted to die so much. God take me... But I didn't. I had seen what happens when someone takes their own life to the few that loved them. So I fought everyday. It was hard. REALLY HARD...it was lonely. It was humiliating... And then I met Mr. Hagen. And he brought me back to God. And it was nice. And one day I decided to flip open the bible to a random page and start reading... The book of Job And I cried tears about my life for the first time WITH TEARS OF JOY GOD IS GOOD. I'm 26. My place is paid in full. My car is paid. My bills are minimal due to house hacking. I bought my Dad a Rolex and myself one. I've helped friends buy a used car. I have a great best friend. Money comes easy to me more than I ever thought possible. It's so funny to me because reading Job 😂 God thank you for giving and taking. You are KING always and forever in my ❤️ Be good and love the Lord. -Mardu (past pastor) 💜💜💜

The most beautiful part of the first chapter, where Job loses his livestock and children, is his response. He lost everything he had, yet he never cursed God. Oh Lord, may I have the strength, when everything seems to go wrong and I am in suffering, to never curse you, but always to praise you. Because, you are worthy of all praise. Amen.

"The Lord gives and the Lord takes. Praise be the name of the Lord!!"

I was looking for an intro to a Bible Study but I think I just found my finale. I cried at least 3 times. Powerful story and an even more powerful God. Bless you as you continue your work.

My wife and I lost our baby boy almost a year ago today!....And my wife just told me that I helped her keep her faith during that trying time in our life. All I did was.....Around the time when he died, I told my wife the story of Job....She still has a hard time with his loss, but doesn't blame herself or the Lord like she started to do! So it did my heart good to hear that something I learned as a child in church...CHANGED her negative way of thinking and helped her keep her faith. I hope my story helps someone else out there!!!! GOD has a PLACE and a PLAN for ALL OF US. 👍👍👍👍

Our family suffered a major loss when our youngest boy, just 10 years old, died in a freak accident three years ago. The book of Job had been something the Lord has brought me back to again and again as I have personally sought to grow in my faith in spite of the intense grief of losing my little boy. Fast forward to today.... We are a homeschool family and Job is what we are currently working through in our Bible study work. THANK YOU for this encouragement this morning. I found your video "by accident" and was not prepared for the balm it would be for our still-hurting hearts. May God bless this ministry richly.

I think this is the most relevant and important book in the good book.

To have God first in your life he lessens the pain and suffering of anything life throws at you

For sure a eye opener gotta stay faithful no matter what or how life treats you Jesus Christ is our rock

Balled my eyes with this video 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 please make more videos!

Thank you my Christian brethren for explaining the story of Job (Ayub in Islamic tradition). It was such a strong support for me in my trials. Thank you.

I feel like Job. I have endured so much headache and pain in my life, and I'm still going through it. God knows 🙏 that I am so tired of this world 🌎.I was born in a poverty-stricken neighborhood. I've had two really bad parents. I've been through Hurricane 🌀 Katrina. Suffered two miscarriages. The list goes on and on. I'm tired. I really don't know why God keeps putting me through this. I love ❤️ GOD but I don't know how much I can take.

As a new believer at 18 in 1988 the first book of the bible I read in NKJ was Job. I too have shaken my fist at God for my lower than average iq but I still know He has carried me this far.

I needed to hear this. I’m still in the middle of a storm for the past 2 years, from losing a dear mother, losing my job, my assets, savings, difficulty in finding work, health issue of the family due to depression, my children dropping from school, from abundance to not knowing where to get the next meal, from thoughts of giving up.

WOW!! I got it! In my suffering I still have to love, trust and fear Him. Goodness is going to be the result of my suffering. You guys are way too young to be so wise...thank you!

Made me tear up as I got to the conclusion. I believe this is a great resource that doesn't answer the question (Just like the Book of Job), but assures the broken hearted of completeness in Him, than the things lost in this world. Easier said than done. Thank you for producing it Spoken Gospel.

If we have pain in our body we still know that jesus is still here
