THE DILEMMA OF JOB (1-2) B. SATAN’S CHALLENGE TO AFFLICT JOB’S WEALTH & HEALTH 1. He is our adversary (Job 1:7-11; 2:2-7; 1 Pet. 5:8-9; Rev. 12:10-12). 2. Is against the upright (Gen. 3; Zech. 3:1; Lk. 22:31) 3. If you suffer temptations in the flesh, then you have ceased from sin (1 Pet. 4:1-4)! 4. The purpose of the adversary: Defeat faith (Job 1:16; 2:9; 1 Jn. 5:4).

THE DILEMMA OF JOB (1-2) C. GOD’S ALLOWANCE OF AFFLICTION 1. To cause us to consider our spiritual condition (Eccl. 7:14; 2 Cor. 13:5). 2.

To give opportunity for others to growth, do good (Jas.1:2-4; Ax8:3-4; 11:27-30). 6. To reward us (Jas. 1:12; 1 Pet. 5:10; Ps. 94:12ff). 7. To glorify God (Jn. 9:1-3; 21:18-19).

Loss of health (Boils). d. Loss of position (“Greatest”, 2:8). e. Loss of sympathy (Wife, 2:9). 2. Job’s pious reaction: a. Immediately worshipped God (Job 1:20-21). b. Did not murmur (Job 1:22; 2:10; Ex. 14:11; 15:24; 16:2, etc.).

THE DILEMMA OF JOB (1-2) CONCLUSION (Job 1-2): 1) In prosperity, follow Job’s example of uprightness. 4) Always be sober & watchful for your adversary is seeking to devour you. 3) In adversity, consider your spiritual condition. 2) In adversity, follow Job’s example of reverence.
