Job 25: How can man be just with God?

Read Job 25:1-6 before you meet.

In a few lines

Bildad's "How then can man be just with God?" (25:4) is Job's own question from chapter 9 in the same five Hebrew words (9:2). And his "man, who is a worm" (25:6) uses two different Hebrew words for worm, which stand together in only one other verse of the Hebrew Bible, Isaiah 14:11.

The verse to carry

“How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?”

Job 25:4

To talk about

  1. 1. Job asked, "how can man be just with God?" (9:2), and Bildad asks it again (25:4). How would you put that question in your own words, and what answers have you been given to it?

  2. 2. Bildad sets the moon and the stars beside God (25:5), and a psalm does too (Psalm 8:3-4). When has something in creation made you feel small, and was that a good feeling or a hard one?

  3. 3. Jesus said that whoever hears his word and believes the one who sent him "doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life" (John 5:24). What difference would it make to your week to believe that?
