What does each patriarch in the Old Testament show about our relationship with God?

The answer lies in the title Patriarch and not in any story. Putting it simply a patriarch is "The male head of family or tribe". As God is the patriarch of the human race, so a father is the patriarch of his family. The wife would be referred to as a Matriarch.AndI think you can see the same / similar with each story of the patriarchs, so I will just mention Noah.Like everybody in the world at that time ( and at any time ) Noah did not deserve to be saved by God. We are the same we do not deserve salvation. By God's grace salvation is offered to us so our relationship with God is by God's grace not based on anything we have done. Eph 2:9In faith Noah believed God and was saved. Believers too have a relationship based on faith. Faith that God has provided a suitable sacrifice for our sin. Rom 3:22,23.By faith Noah obeyed God and built the ark. Our on going relationship with God is also by faith. As God instructs we too act in faith.The blessings of God come through obedience. Noah obeyed God and he was blessed. The same with the other Patriarchs, and when they didn't obey God disciplined them - Moses Numbers 20:8-12. It is the same with Christians today blessing comes through obedience.God is our guide. God guided the patriarchs, God guides believers today.Our relationship as believers is secure. In the stories of the patriarchs they didn't always do what was right but God worked out His plan through them. We too don't always get it right but because our relationship is not based on what we do God does not abandon us.

What is the diffbetween patriarch and a prophet?

A patriarch is a "father who rules", i.e., a significant ancestor. The patriarchs in Judaism are Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jacob's twelve sons.A prophet is a person who declares God's words to other people.So most of the prophets were not patriarchs, and a patriarch need not be a prophet. Although the Bible tells us that Abraham talked to God, it does not indicate that he spent much time repeating God's words to anyone outside his own family. There is even less evidence that Isaac or Jacob did any such thing.You probably can count Abraham as a prophet, but in Jewish history, his role as a patriarch is more important.___________________________________________________________The patriarch is assigned by people but the prophet is assigned by God. Some God prophets are Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ismael, Jacob, Joseph, David, Solomon, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them all).
