We study Bible characters because they are examples of what it means to be a Christian. The Bible is filled with stories of people who were flawed, but who God used in amazing ways. These stories remind us that no matter how bad we've messed up, God is always willing to forgive us and use us for His purposes. By studying the lives of Bible characters, we can learn about the character of God and how to live our lives in a way that honors Him. We can also find encouragement when we face difficult times, because we know that God has been there before and He will help us through anything.
