Heroes of the Bible

God always provides for our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19

As long as we are doing the work of the Lord God will always meet our needs. As long as we are pointing others to God, He will always see that you have plenty.

Do the work of the Lord share what you know from the bible and share your testimony of how you were healed or set free and God …

Everyone loves a story of survival and victory; one that has a clear hero. Children’s books and movies are dedicated to telling the story of heroes; some are fairy tale type stories such as Snow White and Cinderella. here are also some true stories of heroes and we can find them in the Bible. Here are just 7 famous heroes in the Bible and some of the things that holy men of God, by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, wrote down.

Noah – A hero that walked with God

Why can we consider Noah a hero? Because he trusted God and walked by faith to save his family and the pairs of animals that God said to take onto the ark. Noah was used by God to preserve the human race and the animal kingdom.

Abraham – A hero that had a covenant with God

We have been grafted into the inheritance that God promised Abraham all the way back in Genesis 12. Abraham is a great hero of faith and it is by faith that he is considered righteous (Galatians 3:6). Because of his faithfulness that covenant is passed on to us.

Jacob – A hero and a chosen people

The Bible calls Jacob a hero of faith because “By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff” (Hebrews 11:21). That staff was a constant reminder to Jacob that he was not stronger than God and when you wrestle with God you can not win.

Mordecai – An unsung hero

Mordecai convinced Esther to appeal to King Ahasuerus on behalf of the Jews that Haman planned to kill.
And because of Mordecai’s persistence the king called off the plan and eventually even executed Haman, whom he learned was plotting to kill the people of the man who saved his life in times past.

Joseph of Nazareth – A hero and a Daddy

Even people who generally don’t read the Bible know of the carpenter who was espoused to Mary when she became pregnant with Jesus. He was not a man of any real notoriety. He was not a rich man. He was simply a man who had promised to take Mary as his wife.

Heroes & Martyrs

John was the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth and the cousin of Jesus. He spent his life preparing the way for his cousin and Savior. He was imprisoned for speaking out against King Herod Antipas, who married his own brother’s wife, Herodias. Later, John ws beheaded at the request of Herodias’s daughter.

Stephen

Considered to be the first martyr for Christianity, Stephen was stoned to death by order of Saul of Tarsus. Stephen, like John the Baptist preached about the Lord and His mighty works till his dying day. Heroes like this are often forgotten. I can’t forget Stephen nor the one who ordered his death—Saul of Tarsus, the same man who was saved on the road to Damascus and trusted to deliver the gospel of grace to the Gentiles. I am thankful for the heroes of the Bible and for the stories that have been recorded about them. Recounting the amazing facts of their lives is something that we should do regularly with our children and then our children can teach them to their children so we never forget what these men did to secure our freedom in Christ.
