What Makes a Hero?

A hero is the person who stays strong when facing serious and life threatening troubles. A Hero will find numerous ways to help other people. Any person can be called a hero when saving someone else’s life. The person who motivate other people to live their lives with courage and face all the difficulties with head held high can be a hero as well. Sacrificing your life for other people is also a heroic deed. A hero can be afraid as well, but his actions show that he can overcome his fears in order to save someone.


A heroic act is not a goal in itself, but the result of well-considered actions and courage. Heroes get scared, because they are humans as we all are. However, they act regardless of their fears as their moral compass shows them what actions are right in such a situation. -Anon.


As the novelist and short story writer, George R.R. Martin writes "My own heroes are the dreamers, those men and women who tried to make the world a better place than when they found it, whether in small ways or great ones. Some succeeded, some failed, most had mixed results... but it is the effort that's heroic, as I see it. Win or lose, I admire those who fight the good fight."


So what are real heroes for you? Let me provide you their testimonies in God's own inspired words:


"And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets:


who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.


Women received their dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.


Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment.


They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented—of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.


And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.--Hebrews 11:32-40
