How do we know Job was justified before God?

Answered in 1 source

Job is acknowledged as a righteous man by God Himself, whose testimony affirms Job's integrity and justification.

In the book of Job, God Himself refers to Job as a 'perfect and an upright man' (Job 1:8). His integrity is not tied to the sins he may have committed but rather his faith in God's righteousness. Throughout his trials, Job maintains a relationship with God that reveals he is justified not through self-righteousness but by God's declaration. This challenges the idea that suffering is directly tied to personal sin, emphasizing God's grace in the lives of those He chooses to save. His understanding of justification highlights the essence of grace, which is central to Reformed theology.
