Commentary on Job 22:21

Theological / Devotional

Acquaint. This verse begins Eliphaz’ appeal to Job to mend his ways. Eliphaz takes it for granted that Job is a sinner, wholly unreconciled to God and unacquainted with Him. The appeal is beautiful but incorrectly applied.

Peace. See Rom. 5:1.

Good. An analysis of the “good” that results from communion with God reveals that it includes the following: (1) pardon of sin, (2) assurance of salvation, (3) peace of conscience, (4) victory over sin, (5) support in trial, (6) joy of service, (7) citizenship in the kingdom of glory.
