Job 25 Study & Commentary
Job 25 is Bildad’s final, very brief speech. He emphasizes God’s dominion and highness, asking how a man can be justified with God or how he can be clean that is born of a woman.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. God’s Transcendence: Bildad correctly points to God’s "dominion and fear" (v. 2). We must never lose our sense of awe and reverence for the Creator.2. The Need for Grace: "How then can man be justified with God?" (v. 4). This question is only answered in the New Testament through the finished work of Jesus Christ.
3. Human Frailty: Compared to God’s brightness, even the moon and stars are not pure. Humility is the only proper response to the holiness of God.
