Job 27:5 KJV
God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
These are the words of Job and not of his friends. Much of what his friends say sounds pious and good, but we must be careful, remembering from whence those words come. Not so here. Job makes an affirmation that any believer would be wise to make.
He says he will not remove his integrity.
He knows what is right
He knows he has followed the Lord
He knows he has been upright and just
He knows he has feared God and eschewed evil
And though the tide of circumstances has gotten it so these others are in, on the human plane, in a position to deride and judge him, Job refuses to budge on right and wrong.
He will not buy into the charismatic mentality of Eliphaz
He will not degrade his faith to the Protestant mentality of Bildad
He will not conform his life to the dogmatic mentality of Zophar
His is, by the testimony of God, a pure walk. And Job wasn't budging!
God give us some believers like that today!
