Bible Full Of Ordinary People
One of the most instructive aspects of reading the Bible is discovering that its characters are ordinary people, most of whom we can relate to.
The Bible is not full of people whose lives are morally upright and perfect in every way. The characters who feature throughout its pages live messy lives. They often make mistakes, poor choices and have bad attitudes. They let others down and fail to live up to expectations.
Yet many are still heroic and faithful: they live out God's values in the midst of their failures.
They remind us that following Jesus is not about getting it right all the time, but about living in the knowledge that we are forgiven.
God offers us a fresh start every day.
