What does love takes the patience of job mean?

What does the phrase "love takes the patience of a job" mean?

4 Answers

Job was a biblical character who had the misfortune to become the subject of a wager between God and the Devil. As the story goes, Job was a good man, very wealthy and worshiped God. The Devil bet God that Job would curse God if He took away all of his wealth.

First they stripped him of his wealth, then his family all died or left him, then as he was sitting in the street he developed boils all over his body. As each of these misfortunes hit him, Job refused to curse God and just had patience that things would turn around.

“The patience of Job” is therefore “endless patience”.

When we love someone it is sometimes difficult to continue to love when the object of our affection does bad things or mistreats us. If we are to continue to love, we must have endless patience — i..e. the patience of Job. — Or at least, that is one theory.

BTW, Job eventually got all his stuff back.

Thus, the question of integrity on the part of God’s intelligent creatures was a secondary, or subsidiary, issue arising out of the primary issue of God’s right to universal sovereignty. These questions would require time in order for the veracity or falsity of the charges to be demonstrated, for the heart attitude of God’s creatures to be proved, and thus for the issue to be settled beyond any doubt. (Compare Job 23:10; 31:5, 6; Ec 8:11-13; Heb 5:7-9; see INTEGRITY; WICKEDNESS.) Jehovah thus did not immediately execute the rebellious human pair nor the spirit son who raised the issue, and so the two foretold ‘seeds,’ representing opposite sides of the issue, would come into existence.—Ge 3:15.

it means that God will try you by allowing suffering in your life, but He does it to purify you of your dross, so that you will be refined like gold is refined in the fire and it comes out as pure gold. Suffering leads you to rely fully on God, which leads to your sanctification.
