1 Cor.5:5 you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.
What do you suppose this verse is saying? It seems to be saying, that in order to bring us to repentance, God allows man to fall under Satan for physical pain. This could only be in the form of disease or injury. This affliction is intended to bring about correction, humbleness, and a reformed man who will listen and follow the Lord's commands! We must have a new heart leading us to new lives in Christ! We are in this world, but only as visitors! Our home is not here!
Job 2:6 And the Lord said to Satan, " Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life."
Acts 26:18 to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'
