Top Ten Men of The Bible
There are many good men in the Bible. Out of all the faithful men who served God, I am going to give you all my top ten list. Excluding the obvious number one choice (Jesus), here are my Top Ten Men of The Bible listed in no particular order:
1) David
David Vs. Goliath
I admire David because he was very faithful. He wasn’t a big man but he loved God and he was able to accomplish great things because of his faith in God. He killed the giant Goliath, he killed lions and bears, and he latter became a king. Also, God blessed him musical gifts.
2) Samson
Samson killing a lion
Samson had great physical strength. The secret to his strength was his hair, therefore he never cut his hair. Samson was so strong that he was able to tear a lion apart with his bare hands, kill the large group of the men of Ashdod, and he slaughtered a thousand men with the jawbone of an ass. Even though he disobeyed God, God allowed him to perform one more act of strength. Samson was able to pull down the pillars of the Philistine house, which killed many Philistines. Sadly, Samson was killed as well.
3) Solomon
Making a wise judgement
I like Solomon because he was very wise. In fact he is the wisest man that ever lived. He also built the first temple in Jerusalem.
4) Joseph
Joseph interpreting Pharaohs dream
Joseph and the coat of many colors is one of my favorite stories. I admire Joseph because he was able to forgive his brothers for selling him into slavery. He was very faithful and he had a good heart. He also able to interpret dreams.
5) Job
Job
I like Job because he represents perseverance. Job was faithful and he remained faithful even when great suffering was put upon him. He followed God in everything that he did. Satan questioned Job’s faithfulness by suggesting that Job only served God because God constantly protected him. Satan also, suggested that if God removed his protection Job, then Job would curse God. Satan asked for permission to test Job. God allowed Satan to take Job’s wealth, his children, and his physical health. Job remains loyal to God throughout his suffering. Job never cursed God.
6) Moses
Moses Praying to God
I like Moses because at first he didn’t believe in himself, but God always believed in him. Moses was a stutterer. Moses was able to free his people (the Israelites) from slavery. God also used Moses to lead the Israelites into the promised land. Moses was instrumental in God’s creation of the Ten Commandments. The story of Moses is very powerful because it shows us that God can use anyone to achieve His purpose.
7) Noah
Noah on the Ark
To me, Noah represents persecution. He was told to build an ark because a flood was coming. He was told to witness to people and let them know that the flood would destroy all. People made fun of him and laughed at him. People thought that he was delusional. As it turns out, Noah got the last laugh.
Abraham
Abraham escaping from Sodom and Gamarrah
Abraham was a very faithful man of God. The father of many nations. He believed in God’s promise that he would have children by his very old wife Sarah. Abraham also followed God’s instructions to leave Sodom and Gomorrah. He remained faithful to God even after his wife Sarah was turned into salt for disobeying God by looking back at the destruction of Sodom and Gomarrah.
9) Isaac
Isaac about to be sacrificed
Isaac represents faith and obedience. Isaac was faithful and very obedient to God and his father, Abraham. God tested Isaac and Abraham by telling Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. Isaac could have run away and disobeyed Abraham but he didn’t. He also could have forced Abraham away from him. Instead, Isaac was willing to be the sacrifice. As Isaac was about to be killed by Abraham, God intervened and allowed Isaac to live.
10) Enoch
Enoch ascending into heaven
Enoch was very faithful and he was a just man. God recognized Enoch’s good qualities and took Enoch to heaven. Because of this, Enoch was able to avoid death. Enoch was 365 years old before he was taken to heaven.
