Four Views of Suffering (Job 41) |
|
|
Satan’s View |
People believe in God only when they are prospering and not suffering. This is wrong. |
|
The view of Job’s three friends |
Suffering is God’s judgment for sin. This is not always true. |
|
Elihu’s View |
Suffering is God’s way to teach, discipline, and refine. This is true, but an incomplete explanation. |
|
God’s View |
Suffering causes us to trust God for who he is, not what he does. |
