FOUR BIBLE FACTS EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW
*FOUR BIBLE FACTS EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW*
*Our world is faced with many questions: job, bank stabilities, safety of our people and children. Sadly there are not many easy answers.
*The Book of Job is considered one of the oldest books in the Bible; it answers a lot of questions concerning man and God.
Yet, there are four great facts Job reveals that every generation needs to know:
(1) Man’s frailty
(vs 1) “Man born of a woman is of a few days.”
*No matter the age we live to be, it never seems long enough.
*As flowers bloom in spring showing their radiant colors, soon fall comes and they wither: So is our life, time seems to move fast.
(Jam 4:14 Read)
*Our bodies as we get older are troubled by afflictions yet God has prepared us for incorruption (II Cor 5:1)
(2) Man’s troubles
(vs 1) “full of trouble”
(Job 5:7) “Yet man is born unto trouble as the sparks fly upward.”
*No matter our age or nationality troubles, sorrows, disappointments come sometimes into our lives.
*Sometimes we say “Why me?” The devil tells us something is wrong with our spiritual life.
*Yet rough times have come into the lives of good people: Joseph, Daniel, Paul; but the greatest of men knows our troubles and sorrows.
*In 33 ½ years Jesus lived on this earth. He faced many troubling times
(Isa 53:3) “A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief”
*As Jesus prayed in Gethsemane, He came to His disciples Peter, James and John and said (Matt 26:38) “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful”.
(3) Man’s destiny with death
(Job 4:15 Read & Job 12:10 Read)
*No matter your status in life, rich or poor, king or servant, male or female: God knows your days (Job 7:1 Read)
*Our days are appointed and we must face death and God (Heb 9:27)
*It is how we live and who we live for that determines whether we are ready to face death and God.
(Amos 4:12) “Prepare to meet thy God.”
(4) Man’s hope
(vs 7,14 Read)
*Since man’s creation he has looked for the Fountain of Youth.
*Ponce Deleon spent his life looking for that which did not exist, death crushed all his hopes.
*Billions of dollars are spent on creams and plastic surgery, but age takes all who use them, hopes.
Yet the greatest need, the greatest hope is found in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. (John 11:25,26 Read)
