​Behemoth and Leviathan

THE BEHEMOTH AND LEVIATHAN

I could write a book about how the book of Job has shaped my life. More than any other book in the Bible, it has left its mark. It is the story of one of the greatest of men. A man totally devoted to God more than any man of that time. However, he loved God but did not understand the power of living in Grace. All of society looked to Job as the standard of righteousness. The term “being absolutely sure but absolutely wrong” fit him perfectly. At the end of the book, you see this great man free. Until that time, Job's self-righteousness was a barrier to himself and to the whole culture he led. Job was the greatest example of living in a state of righteousness under his own willpower, not God’s grace. He equated all the good in his life with God blessing him because he lived flawlessly. Only one could do this, Jesus. Job was not Jesus.
​
The biggest issue in mankind, and let me say the church, is pride. It is so hidden under many layers of religion. The heart and mind can be deceptive, and we may not realize it until God shows us. The church is in the process of Job's journey from living by willpower to living by grace. Before we go on, let's understand what grace is. It is not human willpower; it is surrender, recognizing that under our own power, we can never enter the rest and peace of God. It is unearned love and favour. We do not deserve the kindness, forgiveness, love, and mercy of God, given to us with no conditions attached. Job's life until the end was void of grace. He lived unknowingly in a counterfeit.
