All the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction.​—Romans 15:4.

Have you ever thought about the personal conflicts recorded in the Bible? Consider just the first few chapters of Genesis. Cain kills Abel (Genesis 4:3-8); Lamech kills a young man for striking him (Genesis 4:23); the shepherds of Abraham (Abram) and Lot quarrel (Genesis 13:5-7); Hagar despises Sarah (Sarai), who becomes upset with Abraham (Genesis 16:3-6); Ishmael is against everyone and everyone’s hand is against him. (Genesis 16:12) Why does the Bible mention such conflicts? Well, one reason is that it helps imperfect humans learn why they need to keep peace. It also shows us the way we can do this. We benefit from reading Bible accounts about real people struggling with real problems. We learn about the results of their efforts and may thus be able to apply such points to some situations we encounter in life. Indeed, all of this helps us to consider how we should or should not deal with similar issues.
