<p>While the suffering of Job is extreme, the pattern of his life is the normal pattern of all those who belong to Christ – suffering now, glory later. Suffering is part of the plan. Suffering is the normal pattern for Gods’ people, not in spite of their faith in God, but precisely because of it. Job did not suffer, even though he was a believer, he suffered precisely because he was a believer.</p>

Job 42:1-17 | The End Comes at the End

Simple Grace Radio exists to share Christ's glorious grace for a transformed life. We pray that God will powerfully work by connecting the realities of the Good News in Christ to the everyday patterns of our life. We are confident because the Bible says real transformation comes from hearing this Good News, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel [Good News]," Paul writes in Romans 1:16 "for it is the power of God unto salvation." The Gospel shows us how serious the consequences of our sin are: Jesus had to die a painful death on a cross to bear our sin. It's not enough, therefore, to live a basically good and moral life. Everybody needs forgiveness and salvation offered only in Jesus. Come to him to find life, peace and lasting joy.
