Job: Who Suffers Without Reason?
Many people believe that life’s challenges are always the result of sin. They hold a “cause and effect” view of God: sin leads to punishment, while obedience results in blessings. However, our study reveals that Job was “blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil.” God was not punishing Job for sin; instead, he was permitting Satan to test Job’s integrity.

Job: Naked
It’s hard to fathom how Job’s pain could have been worse. We might be tempted to say, “My situation pales in comparison to Job. I should never complain, question, or doubt.” If Job’s suffering serves as the benchmark for our suffering, then the response to our pain becomes, “Suck it up. It could be worse. Just look at Job.” But that is wrong thinking.
Job: The Accuser
I’ve heard it said that people love God like a farmer loves his cow—for the milk and cheese. Undoubtedly, many connect with God for the benefits. But what if all those benefits were taken away? Would we still love God? Would we still worship him? Satan asserts that humanity loves God only for the perks.
Job: The Heavenly Court
Today, the author of Job pulls back the curtains of heaven to present a vivid portrayal of Satan bargaining with God. While other instances in Scripture briefly mention interactions between Satan and God (e.g., Zech. 3:1-2, Luke 22:31-32), Job offers a front-row seat.
