Let us not elevate characters in the Bible. The Bible is full of corrupt and broken men and women. We are longing for a hero that rules with justice, liberty, love, patience, conviction.
When it comes to God, almost obedience is never enough. God requires full obedience.
The only hero is Jesus Christ.
Jesus kept the law perfectly. Followed God perfectly.
He who knew no sin, became sin, that we may become the righteousness of God.
His wrath was poured out on His son Jesus Christ on our behalf.
