  1. Don’t Let Go! Job 27:1-6

  2. Satan never gives up. • “Your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Pet 5:8). • He can take the smallest opening & exploit it masterfully.

  3. As you read the Book of Job, it’s obvious that his friends believe he has let go of his integrity. • In their day, people believed that any evil that befell you was the result of sin. • Thus, Job’s suffering is the result of his sin. • Job 22:5-7. • Job, however, maintains his integrity throughout the Book.

  4. “Regardless of others, don’t let go of your integrity!”

  5. We must read this text through two “lenses.” • One: The “lens” of Job’s frustration. • In Job’s own words, he is an innocent & honorable man. • God: “Hastthou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fearethGod, and escheweth evil?” (Job 1:8). • Two: The “lens” of Job’s integrity. • He is an innocent & honorable man. • Job says that he won’t lose his integrity.

  6. Job 27:1-6

  7. “Regardless of others, don’t let go of your integrity!”

  8. Throughout Scripture, we are urged not to let go of our integrity. • “Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool” (Prov 19:1). • “I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven” (Matt 5:20). • “Follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness” (1 Tim 6:11).

  9. How is your private, personal integrity this morning? We have an obligation to be righteous before God

  10. We have an obligation to be righteous before others.

  11. We must allow others to see Jesus living in us. • “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matt 5:16). • “Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world” (Phil 2:14-15).

  12. Let us make our righteousness known to others this week!

  13. How will you demonstrate your righteousness this week?
