Surely, these figures knew the truth in their bones yet when faced with such a trial even they, in some way, doubted the one true God quite seriously at some point.
Job was the most faithful person both God and Lucifer knew of at the time. Christ, for Catholics/Christians at least, is the incarnation of God/Logos in the flesh. While he was in the world, he was the light of the world. Fully human yet also fully divine.
The tribulations both went through because of that make no logical sense from a human perspective. God is an infinite being however and thus, while he gifted us with a portion of his infinite wisdom and creativity, it doesn't put us on his level. Yet he chose to lower himself to our level in his infinite mercy and justice.
It might come from an EIE but Fulton Sheen did give one hell of a sermon regarding Christ's death and I'd encourage everyone to read/listen to it. I'm not as hardcore and unforgiving as this youtuber on a great many things regarding my own faith, but here he did a good job in his delivery. He may not like Fulton Sheen for being ultimately supportive of Vatican II, but he can and does admit that someone you may not like overall can be so right about something you just have to give them credit where it's due:
