Top 10 Heroes of Faith From the Bible

Jesus

In New Testament Greek, the words for “faith,” “trust,” and “belief” all come from the same root. It is no wonder, then, that the truest hero of faith is Jesus Christ himself. His faith and and trust were in the plan of the Father. Though Himself fully God, Jesus the Son forsook his throne in Heaven for the plan of salvation, for the people He loved so much – us. All of us. Even as he performed miracles, He taught his disciples a firm reliance on the Father, casting out demons “only by prayer” and by pointing out that the Father provides for the birds of the air and even moreso for people whom He loves. Before his arrest, Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane “not my will, but Your will,” and even on the Cross shows compassion, calling for God to forgive his killers. John writes at the end of his Gospel that Jesus did “many other things,” to the point that “the world could not contain” all the books it would require – and we know that Jesus is indeed still working today, so the world could not contain all it would require.
