Actually, Job had a sin serious enough to keep him from salvation, though it wasn't God that killed his children and brought all those calamities upon him:
So these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. Job 32:1
If Job hadn't sinned there would be no reason for his repentance in chapter 42:
Listen, please, and let me speak;
You said, ‘I will question you, and you shall answer Me.’
5 “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear,
But now my eye sees You.
6 Therefore I abhor myself,
And repent in dust and ashes.” Job 42:4-6
Its one thing to fear God and to attempt to do what is right. Its an entirely different thing to see Him as He is and to realize yourself for what you are. Amen.

Now I see your difficulty. There is no one good but God, and no one shall glory in His presence.aspen2 said:The whole point of the story is the temptation of a good person. You guys who believed that Job sinned are missing the entire point of the story and falling into the same sin as Job's friends. This is the story of a man who was righteous before God and still experienced hardship and instead of cursing God, he submitted to God's sovereignty. It really is one of the more straightforward stories in the OT......
