Who was Job?
Published Reviewed
Job was a blameless, wealthy man whom God allowed Satan to test through devastating losses—children, possessions, and health. Despite immense suffering, Job didn't curse God, though he questioned. God revealed His sovereignty, and Job responded in humble trust. His story addresses why the righteous suffer.
Why this answer? It starts with Job 1:21, then cross-checks Job 42:1-6 and James 5:11 so the summary stays anchored in Scripture.
