The three most influential characters in the bible apart from Jesus are Ester, Paul, and Sarah. All three people are vastly different but all furthered the kingdom of God in their own unique way. I am so glad that these people followed the will of god and fulfilled their purpose.
I chose Esther from the bible because she was a woman after god’s own heart. She was chosen to be queen of the Persian Empire when she was a teenager. In that day and age women did not have near as many rights as they had today. The king at the time made a decree that all of the Jews would be killed at one time. Ester herself was a Jew. She went before the king and risked her life in order to further the kingdom of god. Esther had lots of choices but her choosing to follow gods will made her the hero of that time period. The Jew’s lives were spared and she will be remembered forever as a woman after God’s own heart.
I chose the apostle Paul because of his impact. Paul was a man who went out and was a missionary in the Mediterranean region. He was put in chains and in jail for many different times in his life. One time in specific he was put in jail for preaching in the center of town, and immediately after he got out, he went out to the center of town and began preaching again. He was so faithful to god’s will and he followed it even though he was an “ambassador in chains”.
I chose Sarah, the wife of Abraham. She was prophesized that she would be given a child and be a leader of nations. She did not always believe it. But once she was very old, she was given a child well after her years. She was a faithful woman who followed and believed the will of God. All three of these people changed the lives of the Bible forever and were very influential to the will of God.
