Top 10 Heroes of Faith From the Bible

Before us have come men and women who fully relied on God. These are the TOP 10 heroes of faith from the Bible!

New Testament Hero #1: Peter

When Jesus asked his disciples who they thought he was, Peter was quick to answer “You are the Christ, Son of the Living God!” Peter by no means led a perfect life: brash and confrontational, it was he who cut off the ear of one of the men come to arrest Jesus, but scared also denied the Lord three times. Brought before the Jewish Sanhedrin for preaching the Gospel, Peter stood firm and noted their guilt in Christ’s death, and spent his life proclaiming Christ to the early Church. According to tradition, his final testament of faith was a willing crucifixion – but demanding to be put to death upside down because he was not worthy of the same glorious cross as the Lord Jesus Christ.

New Testament Hero #2: Paul

A devout Jew and adamant in the destruction of the young Christian community, Saul of Tarsus would become the chief author of the New Testament and one of the first international missionaries. Though shipwrecked three different times, imprisoned and tortured repeatedly, escaping angry crowds in various locations – even fleeing Damascus in a basket lowered from a window in the outer wall – Paul notes that his greatest care is the “daily pressure of concern for all the churches.” Spreading the Good News of Jesus across the Roman empire, Paul was content in all circumstances – even under house arrest awaiting execution in Rome.
