Another answer from our community:

He didn't. God, by definition, knew the faithfulness of Job. The enemy wanted to destroy Job so he could "throw it in the face" of God. When you read Job it becomes apparent that God had blessed Job with family and financially. The enemy said Job was a fake and thought that if he could take these things from Job he would be able to prove that Job was a fake. The enemy was wrong.

The Book of Job follows the modern Jewish notion of Satan as the loyal assistant of God, rather than the Christian notion of Satan as the evil enemy of God. It was Satan's role to prove the righteousness of the faithful.

God believed that Job was a perfect and upright man, the like of whom was no other on earth. Satan answered that in the right conditions every man will curse God, so God gave Satan the challenge to prove this.

After two failed attempts by Satan to have Job curse God, even God became angry and demanded of Job whether he held himself to be equal to God. Both in his challenge to Satan and his later angry monologue to Job (Job 38-41) God seems to be demonstrating that he does not take kindly to those who cross him, no matter how innocently.

What did God do to Satan when Job did not curse God?

God allowed Satan to afflict Job with various trials and hardships, but He did not permit Satan to touch Job's life. Instead, God restored Job's fortunes and blessed him even more than before, reaffirming His faithfulness and sovereignty over evil.

Does Satan ever go to God for help?

AnswerIf we believe in Satan, we should read the Book of Job, which contains more about Satan than any other biblical source. In Job, Satan was the loyal assistant of God, who gave him a challenge to prove that Job was unrighteous. God said that Satan could do whatever evil he wished, as long as he did not hurt the person of Job. When this challenge failed, God gave Satan a further challenge in which he could even hurt the person of Job. If this story is literally true, then God interacts in a friendly way with Satan, giving him tasks and advice, and is responsible for the evil that Satan does.


In which book of the Bible is Satan mentioned the most?

A:Satan is mentioned frequently in the Book of Job, where is portrayed as the loyal assistant to God. God challenges Satan to prove that Job is not perfectly righteous, first telling Satan that he is permitted to do any evil to Job as long as he does not harm Job's person. When that fails,God challenges Satan again, this time telling Satan that he can do any evil to Job, even to his person, as long as he does not kill Job.

What did Satan do to God?

Satan was a high ranking angel that over time developed a desire for the worship that God received. Once man was created Satan desired to receive worship from man. God commanded Adam to not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and bad for if he does he will die. Satan deceived Eve into eating of the tree's fruit. Satan told Eve "you will not die" and that you will become like God (having your eyes opened) knowing good and evil. Satan (father of the lie) lied when he said that Eve would not die. He also encouraged Adam and Eve to be independent of God and decide what is good and bad for themselves. Satan encouraged man to rebel against God and brought death to mankind. God's sovereignty or right to rule was questioned by Satan.
