Christianity is about God reaching out his hand in friendship to mankind. Christians believe that the whole world and everything in it was created by God. God is a personal being, a living God who is three, yet one: Father, Son and Spirit, just as we human beings have body, mind and soul! (see the Trinity). The Bible says God created people in his image, to love him. Yet every person has rebelled against God and sinned. Yet instead of turning his back on us, God became a man, Jesus, who most scholars believe was born about the year 4 BC and lived among us. He taught a message of love throughout Palestine but public opinion turned against him and he was executed as a young man. He died because of us - the death that we should have died. He was crucified on a cross, but he rose from the dead, and now calls us to trust him, to love him and to repent of our rebellion. If we do this, then we our relationship with God becomes restored and we will live forever with God. Many non-Christians may think that being a Christian is about belonging to a particular church or following a certain set of rule. Most Christians however would agree that at its root, being a Christian means to be in a living relationship with Jesus. Who is God?

However, God did charge him with not seeing himself in the light of the greatness and the majesty of God. Job's religious experience was no longer second-hand. He had met God personally, and this made all his earthly sufferings worthwhile. In the last verses of chapter 42, God honors Job. Job had humbled himself before God and now God exalts him. First, God rebukes the friends of Job; then He restores Job's fortune. Job lived for another 140 years, which suggests that he may have been 70 years old when these events took place. Since God doubled everything else in Job's life, it is reasonable to believe He doubled his 70 years also. The main lesson in the Book of Job is not that a person will be rich and powerful when suffering is over; but, rather, that God has a purpose in suffering, and nothing can disturb that purpose. Even Satan must bow to God's control. Job was not suffering because of sins, but his suffering still made him a better man. I hope the Book of Job has been a great inspiration to you and that you will now be able to better endure the trials that come your way. We now begin a study of the Psalms. Praise, worship, confession, and the outpouring of prayer characterize the Psalms. David was the author of 73 of the Psalms, Asaph composed 12, the children of Korah 11, Solomon two, and one each is ascribed to Moses and Ethan. The remaining fifty Psalms are anonymous. We speak of the Psalms as the "Psalms of David" because he was the principal writer, or compiler. David's real character is portrayed in them, and in them God's people generally see a pretty fair picture of themselves, their struggles, their sins, their sorrows, their aspirations, their joys, their failures, and their victories.
