“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” (The Holy Bible John 13:34) Jesus teaches this commandment to his disciples. Jim Casy tries to live this way by preaching and showing others that God cares. In The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck shows Casy as a prime example of Christ-likeness during the Great Depression. Through his commitment to save mankind and by living a life that reflected Jesus Christ; he shows others how to live like him.

The Life You Save May Be Your Own Reflection The story “The Life You Save May Be Your Own Reflection” took many reads to figure out and analyze. First, I took a look at the characters. The old Lucynelle has nothing in her life besides her daughter and her crumbling farm. She loves her daughter and does everything for her. Although, she was in a rush to get her married.
She finds a deep down strength and courage in herself that leads her to want to find out what type of person she really is, and what she wants out of her life. Nora Helmer is a delicate character that had been pampered all of her life, by her father and by her husband. In every sense she is typical housewife. She is financially dependent on her father earlier and on her husband later. She never leaves her house, mostly because her husband is afraid of the way people talk.
Individuals with this trait lack the exuberance and energy associated with extroversion. They show low levels of interaction with the external world and shy from attention. In contrast with the extroverts, introverts thrive in situations that require individual activity. Agreeableness measures the extent of friendliness, compassion and corporation with others. Agreeable people get along well with others and are generally considerate, friendly and willing to compromise their interests with others (Rothmann & Coetzer 2013).

This hierarchy of basic needs consists, in this order, of physiological needs, safety, love and belonging, esteem and self-actualization (Feist & Roberts, 2013). The Bible speaks about motivation and the way in which the motivation of believers should come from God not things of this world (Psalm 73:25, New Living Translation). In this world, people are motivated by self, however the Bible teaches that we are not to be centered on self, but instead surrender our lives and follow Jesus by serving and loving others (Matthew 23:11-12). Our lives should be motivated by the life of Jesus and His love for people.

It says “For God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” This verse basically says the same thing as John chapter three. That we are all sinners and Christ came into the world to forgive our sins. Another example is second Corinthians chapter five. It says “God made Him who had no sin to be sin, or be a sin offering for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God.” Have you ever heard the Ten Commandments? If not, here they
