God had to go to such lengths to get job to admit that he saw God as a magic genie that blessed you if curry reward and cursed you if you incurred repercussions. God had to show him that through everything he was doing he did it only because he believed in the transactional nature of God's goodness, not knowing what actual, true, intentional, selfless love is.
Job lists all his actions that are 1-to-1 God's exact rules and God proves that he did them because of his transactional nature, which is rooted in evil, not from a true, intentional, selfless love.
Finally at the end of everything, Job stops protesting God and admits his fault and most importantly, he immediately prayed for his friends who had tortured him, blaming him for every sin under the sun when he didn't actually break any rules. Only after he did an act of pure, unconditional, intentional love, did God finally remove his curses because his "most faithful servant" finally understood what it meant to be good.
Job was a self-righteous robot doing everything right but without a soul. He didn't do the right thing because it came from true good, the selfless, intentional, unconditional love, and God had to take him to such extremes to teach this wisdom so none would make Jobs mistake. It's the most overlooked aspect of the torahs "books of wisdom "
And Jobs lesson is personified in christ who submitted himself to torture and death selflessly, unconditionally, and intently with love.
