Job 2:6
v. 6: God allowed Satan to test Job further but set a limit: Satan could hurt Job’s body but not take his life . God does not enjoy seeing His people suffer, but sometimes He allows trials to show the strength of their faith. God also promised to protect Job’s life, proving He is always in control, even when Satan attacks. As it says, the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain (Psalm 76:10 a).This story also reminds us of Jesus, who faced Satan’s attacks but never sinned (Genesis 3:15 b). Jesus suffered, but in the end, He defeated the devil and brought salvation to all who trust in Him.
