Introduction: People of the Bible – Real Lives, Lasting Lessons
The Bible is not a collection of perfect stories about perfect people. It is the true account of real men and women—flawed, human, and often struggling—who were still used by God for His purposes. What unites many of these individuals is not their strength or wisdom, but their willingness to follow and honor God, even when it was difficult or costly.
In
this Bible study series, we will explore the lives of key people from
Scripture—individuals like Abraham, Moses, Elijah, and
others—looking closely at their choices, their challenges, and
their faith. Through their stories, we will ask a central
question:
What can I learn from this person’s life
that will help me grow as a follower of Christ today?
By studying how God worked in and through these people, we aim to see not only historical examples of faith, but also present-day inspiration. Their stories are not just ancient history—they are mirrors for our own journey with God.
The most important reading a person can do is to read the Bible with a prayer that says “help me understand and apply.” These Studies are provided to bring interest and better understanding of the Bible. God Loves us and desires our love in return. Matthew 23:37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! 2 Timothy 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
Most Bible quotes are NIV, some are either NLT or ESV
