In Job 41 and 42 God finishes His argument with Job. When confronted by God’s greatness, Job is brought to his knees. He repents and God blesses him. God is angry with Job’s three friends but offers grace to them because Job prays to him for mercy.

Job prospers more than he had prospered before. His family grew. Job showed grace toward his family and gave an inheritance to both his daughters and sons.

In Philippians 3 Paul exhorts the people to rejoice in the Lord rather than rejoicing in the law or their possessions.. He warns them against those who still insist on keeping the law of God to attain God’s grace. He relays that he has kept the law but considers it useless because of Christ. Knowing Jesus is the most important thing in Paul’s life. He doesn’t mind having lost everything in Christ’s service because it has allowed him to become more like Christ.

Again, he warns the people about those who teach anything else. They are still dependent upon earthly things. He encourages us to maintain our citizenship in heaven and accept Christ’s transformation of our lives.
