Session 209: Introduction to Job, Job 1-2 “Free Will and God’s Foreknowledge” | “God’s Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence”

God pointed out Job to Satan, not the other way around.  (1:8) God knew (foreknowledge) that whatever was thrown at Job, Job would not quit seeking Him.  (Omniscience) This in no way conflicted with Job’s free will.  Job could have chosen to reject God.

God LIMITED what Satan could do to Job. (1:12, 2:6) (Omnipotence)

Omnipresence (God sees everything and is everywhere at the same time.)

Satan is a pawn in God’s plan.  Whatever Satan does, God can use it to bring people into a closer relationship with God.
