I really do not know. Four of my favorite Bible persons,. Besides our Lord Jesus, OT, Joseph son of Israel, and Enoch 7th from Adam. The NT, the Apostle Paul and the Apostle Thomas.

Jeremiah. The eternal optimist.

I would say David. Unfortunately more for his transgressions.

 

[alexander284]

For me, it's David, because I can definitely relate to many of the Psalms he wrote.

Job

Love little-known characters. At my age (mid-70's), Barzillai is my role model.

Worth looking up, if you don't know who he was (some in II Sam 19)

Did you go to school with him

We went to different schools together.

BTW, I called him BZ since he was a few years my senior and had earned the nickname. I think we called him that because he got mad when everyone referred to him as Bart Silly

Greetings this was an excellent question!

I would have to say there are four:

David: the many trials and despondent times he experienced, his failures, his sins....his heartfelt trust and love towards God no matter what!

Jeremiah: for sure, called to be a watchman, single, rejected of men everywhere, and his single mindedness to the Lord's call for his life.

The Apostle John: This scripture says it all for me; because he was listening to the heart of the living God......
Joh 13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

And finally Paul: To know the Will of God......"Oh....that "I MAY KNOW HIM"
Eph 5:9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth
Eph 5:10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
Php 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;


The Lord bless you....
In His Eternal Love.....

Greetings Kyredneck!

Oh yes,
Joh 1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
And the other scriptures that follow are just beautiful!

Thank you for sharing!
The Lord bless you!

In His Love,
