Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer

November 10: Job 35, 36; 1Corinthians 7, 8

Scripture: Job (NIV) 35:5 Look up at the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds so high above you.
6 If you sin, how does that affect him? If your sins are many, what does that do to him?
7 If you are righteous, what do you give him, or what does he receive from your hand?
8 Your wickedness only affects humans like yourself, and your righteousness only other people.

Observation: So I interrupt the speech of Elihu, “How does our sin affect God? Is that what you are asking, Elihu? I am glad you asked! If only you knew! It affected Him so much that He sent His only Son to die in payment for our sins! Everyone will have to admit that is a great affect!

Application: If I think that my sin does not hurt anyone, I am forgetting how much God paid to forgive my sins.

Prayer: Lord, please forgive me for thinking that my sins do not affect you. Amen
