241. The Divine Stress Test for Job

<p>The Book of Job presents one of the most intense theological narratives in biblical literature: a systematic, multi-layered &quot;stress test&quot; engineered in the heavenly court (Job 1–2). Satan (<em>The Adversary</em>) asserts that Job’s righteousness is merely a transaction—that Job fears God only because God has placed a hedge of protection and prosperity around him.</p><p>To refute this claim and demonstrate the reality of disinterested, genuine faith, God permits Satan to strip away Job&#39;s security step-by-step. The narrative serves as a divine evaluation of human faith under maximum pressure.</p>
