Three Righteous Men *** Through the prophet Ezekiel, God was prophesying
about the coming destruction of the lsraelites and Jerusalem. And in Ezekiel
14′.12-14,God tells Ezekiel the terrible and sinful state of the nation. 12
And the word of the Lord came to me. 13 “Son of man, when a land
sins against me by acting faithlessly,
and I stretch out my hand against it and break its supply of bread and send
famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast, la even if these three
men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver but their own
lives by their righteousness, declares the Lord God. But, why were these men counted as
righteous? NOAH: Genesis 6:5-13,
Genesis 6′.17-22Noah found favor with God, He was blameless, He was
righteous. Noah walked with God.
DANIEL: Daniel 1:8-9, Daniel 6:1-1 1Daniel found favor with God. He
was faithful. He was without blemish. He was skillful in wisdom. JOB: Job 1:1-3Job was blameless. He was upright.
He feared God. He was considered the greatest of the east. They were considered righteous because
they: 1. Did not compromise the
faith.Hebrews 10:23 2. Always guarded
their words. Proverbs 18:21, James 3:5-83. Trained their children to follow
the Lord.Proverbs 20:7, Proverbs 22:6
4. Demonstrated steadfastness in times of distress.James 1:2-4 |
