Why does man suffer according to the Book of Job?

Answer 1

According to the book of Job, mankind suffers because of sin and imperfection as well as the evil influence of Satan and his demons.

It is in no way whatsoever God's will for man to suffer. This was started by our first parents, Adam and Eve, who although perfect, chose to disobey God and thereby bringing sin upon all of mankind born from them.

If you read the account in Job, you will clearly see that it was Satan who was trying to turn Job against Jehovah by bringing these evils upon him. God didn't cause this to happen, but he allowed it to happen to prove Satan the liar that he is. Job remained faithful to God and held fast to his integrity, proving Satan a liar.

Answer 2

AnswerAccording to the Book of Job, man suffers because God wills it.

In this story, God tells Satan to harm any of Job's family and rob him of his possessions, simply to prove whether Job would curse God for his part in these disasters. When this plot failed, God told Satan to try even harder, even to cause personal harm to Job, as long as he did not kill him.

Answer 3

The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. Proverbs 29:25

The book of Job is the account of a believer who held on to a bad thought: that he could not protect his loved ones because they had strayed from God in their hearts.

... Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually. Job 1:5

Whenever we have a bad thought, it's always our choice to kick it out in favor of good thoughts or to harbor and incubate it until it becomes fear. No matter how daunting our situation seems, God's desire is that we put on His perfect love and thereby cast out all fear

I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4

Before having this fear, Job had God’s protection and felt safe.

Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. Job 1:10

By succumbing to fear, Job allowed a break in God’s hedge by which Satan was able to bring evil upon him. God shows justice to all, even to the devil, His arch-enemy. Because the devil wants to convince people not to follow God, he utilizes every sense-knowledge deception possible, so that fear becomes prevalent in society. Rather than succumbing to fear, we can decide to trust in God and claim His protection from all the wiles of the devil. archive.org/details/powerforabundant00wier/page/36
