Commentary on Job 2:4
Satan's proverb 'skin for skin' likely reflects an ancient trading principle—a person will sacrifice external possessions to preserve their own life. The phrase 'all that a man hath will he give for his life' reveals Satan's materialistic anthropology: he cannot comprehend worship that transcends self-preservation. This challenges the health-and-wealth gospel and exposes the prosperity heresy—Satan's own theology! Reformed faith maintains that true religion perseveres even to martyrdom (Revelation 2:10).
