In the Judaic scenario, the adversary is a creature in an initial creation, creatures facing God. Holiness implies justice and benevolence, so the best are blessed: righteousness coincides with reward.A righteous creature worships a holy creator: righteousnessalso coincides with worship.Reward, therefore, coincides with worship, and righteousness is not apparent to creatures.
3) Evil originates with the satan'scontention that creatures bow to power, for comfort, security, and assurance.
The contention is an adequate theory of the situation, and necessitates a test: "Of course they serve You--You give them everything. Take it away and see what they say."
