Sermons About Job-2
The Invisible War
The story of Job is a testament to Christians that even though we must endure numerous attacks from Satan, we can have confidence that our sovereign God is still in control. We must remember however, that even though Satan was defeated by Jesus Christ, his power is for now still in effect and his threat still great. But just as Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong in the face of suffering, Christians are to submit to trials and worship God our creator because Satan's power has been limited by the triumph of our Savior Jesus Christ. By God's grace we can recognize the advances of Satan's attacks and be ready for the battles. In Job 2 we learn that Satan is persistent but has faulty perception of the power of authentic God-given faith. Although Satan's persecution is overwhelming, his acts are only carried out by permission from God. Thus we know that God is fully in control and sovereign over all things - including pain and trials. As such, believers cannot lose their God-given faith!
