Book of Job

Job is "blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil." This story is similar and different to other stories in the Old Testament. It shows God testing yet another human to see if they are faithful, however in this story Satan is involved. In this book, it is showing that God is only worshipped when the people have a good life, and nothing bad has happened. This story is different then most because Satan and God make a bet, and that is why Job is tested. The story that this best can relate to is the Garden of Eden because that's the only other story that involves Satan, and he pushes the faith of the people in both stories. The other reason why this story relates is because every story has a person who is tested to see how faithful they are. Personally, I think this is the worst suffering, and test that anyone has had to go through, given by or allowed by God. This story shows God characterization like the others, which is insecure, and powerful. He is insecure because he needed to test Job to see if he was really faithful because nothing bad has ever happened. He is also powerful, because he can inflict and make easy bets like he did, just to torture one human to see his faith. God has similar actions in each story we have read so far.
