How do we know Job's faith in God was genuine?

Answered in 1 source

Job's repeated declarations of faith and his expression of hope in a Redeemer demonstrate his genuine faith despite his suffering.

Throughout his trials, Job exhibits true faith in God by firmly declaring his knowledge of a Redeemer who lives (Job 19:25). Even amidst overwhelming adversity and scorn from his friends, Job asserts that he will see God with his own eyes, indicating his trust in God's ultimate justice and redemption. His faith isn't shaken; rather, it's purified through suffering, revealing that true faith endures hardship and remains steadfast in the knowledge of God's promises. As he confronts his own self-righteousness, Job's transformation illustrates the reality of genuine faith, emphasized in the Reformed tradition as God calling His elect to Himself, even through difficult circumstances.
