Top Highlights
“Does Job fear God for nothing? Here Satan fulfilled the role described in Revelation 12:10—the accuser of the brethren. Satan accused Job before God, insisting that Job’s godliness was essentially false and that Job only served God for what he could get from Him.” (Job 1:6–12)
“Job again shows his wisdom in this reply. He recognized that God does not owe us good; He gives it as a gift that we should accept. Accordingly, if adversity comes to us, and we are wise to see that even in adversity there may be a ‘gift’ that we should accept.” (Job 2:9–10)
“ man who is not perfect, but certainly complete in his devotion, respect, and obedience to God.” (Job 1:1–5)
“Trials often discover sins—sins we should never have found out if it had not been for them” (Job 10:1–7)
“Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings: Again, the idea seems to be much more that Job was a scrupulously godly man who served as a priest to his family, more than that his children were wicked people who needed constant atonement.” (Job 1:1–5)
