Since the future is uncertain, we must always be armed with the knowledge of His word. In His truth, we find rest, because we are always ready, and, with it, we recognize false teaching that could otherwise:

• weaken our defense,
• take away our assurance of our standing in grace, and
• make us the enemy’s prey.

I discovered lessons in the book of Job that will arm us. This gorgeous poetry speaks to the connection between suffering, sin, and God’s justice. It is another masterpiece of Scripture from the ancient world! Job holds many lessons, but I will give just a few that expose a certain, present-day, false teaching.

First, I’ll share: 1) a brief summary of the book to see the context, 2) a present-day false teaching,
3) lessons that expose the false teaching, 4) and final thoughts.
