What role does Satan play in the suffering of believers?

Answered in 1 source

Satan, as the prince of darkness, seeks to torment believers but is ultimately under God's control.

Satan plays a significant role in the suffering of believers, acting as a tempter and adversary who seeks to devour them (1 Peter 5:8). In the account of Job, Satan approached God to inflict suffering upon Job as a test of faith. However, it is crucial to understand that Satan's power is limited; he operates under God's sovereignty and cannot act outside of God's permission. While he causes turmoil, his efforts serve to refine and strengthen believers' faith. Thus, Christians must remain vigilant and aware of his schemes while also understanding that their suffering is permitted by God for their ultimate good and His glory.
