An Exemplary Man Who Accepted Correction

Rewarded By Jehovah

Jehovah rewarded Job, allowing his servant  to live on for another 140 years.  During that time, he received far more than he had lost.  And though Job finally died, he is sue to have a resurrection  into God's new world. -Job 42:12-17; Ezekiel 14:14; John 5:28, 29; 2 Peter 3:13.

We too can be sure of God's favor and blessing if we serve him loyally and accept all the Bible-based correction that comes our way. As a result, we will have the sure  hope of life in God's new system of things.  More important, we will honor God.  Our faithful conduct will be rewarded and will add to the proof that his people serve  him, not for selfish reasons, but out of wholehearted love.  How privileged we are to make Jehovah's heart rejoice, as did faithful Job, who humbly accepted correction! -Proverbs 27:11.
