Job 24:9 - 25:6 - Why Doesn’t God Stop Evil Now? (Session 28)
Description
In this verse-by-verse Bible study of Job chapters 24 and 25, Reasoning Through the Bible tackles one of the hardest questions in Scripture and in life: if God is good and all-powerful, why doesn’t He stop evil right now? Job describes a world full of brutal injustice—people exploiting the poor, harming widows and orphans, stealing, murdering, and committing evil under the cover of darkness—while God appears patient and silent.
This study explains why God’s patience should not be mistaken for indifference. Scripture teaches that the Lord is long-suffering, giving time for repentance, but final justice is still coming. The episode also explores slavery and debt in the ancient world, the cruelty of human sinfulness, and why the problem of evil has been with humanity since the earliest pages of Scripture.
The session then turns to Job 25, where Bildad asks a profound question: How can a human being be righteous before God? That question points directly to the gospel. On our own, no one can stand just before the holy God, but in Jesus Christ sinners can be justified by faith and declared righteous before Him.
