The book of Job is a treatise on what New Testament promise?
The book of Job is a treatise on Romans 8:28. It shows us that God is in control of all circumstances, that Jesus Christ controls history, and that God causes everything to work together for good in the lives of those who love Him and are submissive to His purpose. Job's whole ordeal, played out in the invisible war, is the demonstration of that one great promise.
