Relationship between Humans and Divinity

The basic theme of the writer of the Book of Job is to establish an understanding of the relationship between God and His people. God’s wisdom and power are visible everywhere in creation. A willingness to look and accept what is obvious results in awe for the Creator. The clear purpose of this tale is to teach humankind that the true path to salvation and favor from God is by trusting the fate he provides for humanity. He shows the three wrong stances to take through examples of Job’s friends Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zopher, all three of whom place the blame upon Job and presume to know the ways of God. He also shows that challenging God to prove his way is unacceptable, we are simple human beings and cannot presume to ask to explain him to us. He reinforces this when God says, “Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? He that reproveth God, let him answer it”(p. 97). All in all, he shows what not to do, it cautions against ever making God “angry” through your thoughts and actions, no matter what is inflicted on you. He wants all humans to place trust upon God in times of pleasure and also in moments of misery.
