What are the main stories of the bible that teach us about things such as

so what are the main stories, like the tower of babel, david and goliath, noah's ark, the good samaritan etc that give reference to real life issues and life lessons?

60 points, so i'm seeking good answers, cheers

The story of the Tower of Babel explains the origins of the multiplicity of languages. God was concerned that humans had blasphemed by building the tower to avoid a second flood so God brought into existence multiple languages. Thus, humans were divided into linguistic groups, unable to understand one another.

Remember the lesson of David and Goliath according to James, 11: "If you believe in God, He will be there for you when you need Him. And He will help you do things you usually aren't capable of doing." Sarah, 10, agrees: "Big people don't get to do all the big things. If we believe in God, we can do anything."

Noah and the ark, according to Nicole, 8: "Noah had built an ark, and other people did not believe him. He got two of each animal, and then he loaded all of his stuff. It flooded, and he lived."

A child who once appeared on Art Linkletter's TV show thought the lesson of loading all the animals two-by-two was obvious: "If you don't get married, you get left behind."

Well, that's one lesson, but not the one Noah or the Lord had in mind

"We should be more like Noah," says Jenna, 10.

Why? Noah was the only one in his generation who obeyed the Lord. Even though Noah lived in a generation described as "corrupt" and "violent," he "found grace in the eyes of the Lord" (Genesis 6). Corruption and violence. Does this sound like the evening news or the morning newspaper?

"Everyone except Noah was wicked," says Maria, 11. "He probably had a lot of peer pressure." I'm sure he did, Maria. Imagine being the only person in the world following God.

If Noah lived in our day, late night comedians would never run out of material for jokes. Right up until the day Noah closed the door to the ark, I'm sure people were telling the latest Noah jokes. Who but a crackpot would build a gigantic ship with no water around?

A good Samaritan is a person who does good deeds out of compassion and not because of any hope of reward. The term good Samaritan is derived from a parable told by Jesus in the book of Luke in the New Testament. In the parable, a Jew is robbed and beaten, then left on the side of the road to die.
