Pastor John MacArthur, in his NKJV Study Bible notes on the Book of Job, observes the following about the theological themes surrounding the trials of Job:
"When Satan has unleashed all that he can do to destroy saving faith, it stands firm. In the end, God proved His point with Satan that saving faith can't be destroyed no matter how much trouble a saint suffers, or how incomprehensible and undeserved it seems."
Pastor MacArthur later concludes about Job:
"We may not know what is going on in heaven or what God's purposes are, but we must trust Him. Because of this, the matter of believers suffering takes a back seat to the matter of divine wisdom."
What, then, is the lesson in this for all of us?
Be Job.
