ETERNITY

[MIB]

Hi V!

Getting ready for bed but let me try to recall some things from memory. It has been a couple years since I taught expositorily through Job.

One thing I keep remembering is the fact that JOB was not a JEW, so there goes the animal sacrifices and the Law out the windwo concerning him.

Interestingly enough, if you dig some more you may uncover where he lived and also what famouse Biblical person was still alive at the time Job lived! Quite amazing.

But back to memory. I am 90 percent sure that God attributed to Job him being righteous. This was ana mazing thing because if one realizes that all righteousness can ONLY come from Christ placing HIS righteousness upon us, that indicates that JOB was a SAVED man, the same way you and I ccome to Christ, by FAITH.

In Hebrews we read that by Faith Abraham, and BY FAITH Moses, and by faith.. all in Hebrews 11, the great faith chapter.
In Galatians 3: 6 Abraham's faith was accounted unto him for righteousness. In Romans 4: 16 we have some very applicable additoinal scripture regarding FAITH in the Old Testament.

You see, the LAw was to show man that he could not keep it. It was a schoolmaster to bring them to believing in Messiah, Jesus Christ. They could not live a sinless life on their own which is why Hebrews chapter 9 and 10 are so very important.

I don;t believe this scripture teaches anything about Job not believing that a man or woman can lose their salvation. Many times when people made sacrifices to God under the first covenant they did it outof obedience to the Law and fear of the Lord.

The sacrifices were laways pictorial reminders and images of the sacrificial Christ for thie sins, in their time they looked to by faith MESSIAH.

I do sincerely apologize for not having my notes here in front of me and that I am somewhat very tired.

I hope I have at least answered your question of me, and possibly have given you some additional information that pertains.

Have a blessed day worshipping with fellow believers on the Lord's DAY tomorrow!

Blessings in Christ,
