Life Lesson (verse Job 11:20)
In this life we will know some pain. Even if we know pain all of our life, it will be a short season, next to an eternity without pain.
Life Lesson (verse Job 11:20)
The real question in life is not, if we will have pain. The real question is, how will we react to the pain we experience? How will we react to the pain we see others experience?
Bible Study Tip (verse Job 11:20)
Pain is first mentioned (remember the law of first mention?) in the fall of Genesis 3. So pain came in with the fall and will go out when we go to heaven.
Life Lesson (verse Job 11:20)
Don't cling to your sin, cling to your savior.

If only he would tell you the secrets of wisdom,
for true wisdom is not a simple matter.

far less than you deserve!
Job 11:14-15 NLT
14 Get rid of your sins,
and leave all iniquity behind you.
15 Then your face will brighten with innocence.
You will be strong and free of fear.
Rev 21:3-5 NKJV
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."
5 Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful."
Rev 21:7-8 NLT
7 All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children. 8 "But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
Gen 3:9-24 NKJV
Prov 9:7-8 NKJV
7 "He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself,
And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself.
8 Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you;
Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
Prov 6:16-19 NKJV
1 Cor 6:9-11 NKJV
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
Psalms 91:11 NLT
For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
