Job 31:13 - 32:1 - Self-Righteousness Cannot Stand Before God (Session 33)

In this verse-by-verse Bible study of Job 31:13–40, Reasoning Through the Bible examines Job’s final defense as he lists the good things he has done for servants, the poor, widows, orphans, strangers, and the needy. This session explains why those works are commendable and necessary, but why they still cannot justify anyone before God. This study also highlights two important biblical truths from Job 31: human beings are known by God in the womb, and all people are equal before their Creator. The passage speaks clearly against class pride and shows that every human life bears dignity because God made each person. The second half of the episode addresses trusting in wealth, boasting in moral behavior, and Job’s bold desire to stand face to face with God and defend himself. The session shows why that instinct is dangerous, why self-righteousness always fails before God’s holiness, and why the only true righteousness a sinner can have is the righteousness of Jesus Christ credited by faith. Topics in this episode include: Job 31 explained  good works and justification  helping the poor and orphans  life in the womb  equality before God  trusting in wealth  self-righteousness  righteousness through Christ  the judgment seat of Christ Reasoning Through the Bible is a verse-by-verse Bible teaching ministry committed to careful exposition, biblical context, and faithful application.Support the showThank you for listening!!  Please give us a five-star rating to help your podcast provider's algorithm spread RTTB among their listeners. You can find free study and leader resources at the following link - Resource Page - Reasoning Through the BiblePlease prayerfully consider supporting RTTB to help us to continue providing content and free resources.
