One of the most distinguished themes Frost explored was his reverence for God, and while Frost was faithful…

It was obvious to Job’s friends to conclude that Job must have earned his punishment by committing at least one evil sin. “God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evildoers.” (Job 8:20) Basically, his friends were explaining that good people are rewarded, while evil people are punished on the other side of the spectrum.
