Justification by Faith Alone, Not Works
What to notice today
Paul establishes that justification comes through faith in Christ, not through observance of the law, revealing God's impartiality toward both Jews and Gentiles. Elihu challenges Job's friends by arguing that Job's suffering cannot simply be attributed to his sin, introducing the possibility that affliction serves purposes beyond punishment. Both passages grapple with how God's justice operates in human experience—Paul through the lens of salvation history and Elihu through the lens of divine wisdom.
