By believing the Bible is essentially true in all important respects, Christians feel their beliefs are well founded. If God spoke to Abraham, as told in the Bible, then this supports the Christian faith. If you begin to doubt this story, you will begin to doubt your faith.
The stories of the New Testament prove, to the satisfaction of every true Christian, that Jesus lived and was capable of performing miracles. The resurrection stories prove Jesus' divinity, because few Christians ever compare the stories in each of the gospels and wonder why they are so different. Evenfewer Christians realise that the original New Testament gospel, now known as Mark's Gospel, originally ended at verse 16:8 with no resurrection appearances at all. Mark's Gospel was not about the physical resurrection but about the promise that Jesus would soon return on clouds of glory. Acts of the Apostles says that the earliest Christians were willing to die for their faith, which means it must all be true.
The Bible.
The Jews use the Old Testament. Christians use the Old and New Testaments.
Yes bible stories are important as it encourages christians in times of trails and tribulations and also it lays the very fundamental foundation which teaches christians to be who they were meant to be.
Most Christians believe the bible is the inspired word of God, and therefore trust it unconditionally. It's just part of their beliefs.

No, no they did not. They had their own religion which predates the bible. They weren't christians and had their own beliefs on things.
Some of them come directly from the Bible. Some are interpretations of the Bible. Others come from the "Depository of Faith", or the traditional tenets of a denomination that has teaching authority on matters of faith. Individual Christians often come up with their own individual beliefs that are not shared by the denomination they belong to.
The Holy Bible is the book outlining Christian beliefs. The Old Testament (roughly the first half of the Bible) is the same as the book outlining Jewish beliefs. The New Testament (the second half) is what distinguishes Jews from Christians, as the New Testament includes Christ, whom Christians regard as their savior and the savior of the world.
