In Job’s response to Eliphaz, he chastises Eliphaz, and his friends, as being worthless and providing no relief, no help, no comfort, and no repose from his suffering. He points out that they are driven by fear, a deep inner fear that if there was no“cause” for what is happening to Job then perhaps something similar might just happen to them. The truth is that they do not need to fear for the deepest form of fellowship, the fellowship of Christ’s suffering, is reserved for those who desperately desire to know God for who He is and not for who we want Him to be. But that is not Eliphaz or his friends. They love their religion; they love their if/then God.
