Job did sin.
Job 42:6:
"Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes"
The key issue here is that if someone can live a sinless life, than Christ's death was unnecessary. But no one can live that sinless life. It is impossible. We are sinners through and through. We are not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners. So we are born separated from God. We are born as children of sin, and only through the atoning blood of Christ are we brought back into communion with the Father and adopted into His family as children of righteousness.

AMEN, JM !! Wonderful grace of Jesus, greater than all my sin. How shall my tongue describe it? Where shall its praise begin? Taking away my burden, setting my spirit free, for the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me!
