The book of Job is often referred to both by Christians and non-Christians, because it apparently speaks about sufferings and the injustice of suffering. Some only know Job for his patience. Others emphasize the fact that, just as it was with Job, we also will be abundantly blessed by God after going through suffering. We cannot say that these concepts about Job are totally wrong; however, they are very superficial. In fact, what the book of Job teaches us is that for God to do something in us, we need to put off our self, our natural life of living in ourselves and for ourselves.
