It guides them to make the correct ethical decisions in life fulfilling their role as Christians. Ethics is the decision between right and wrong influenced heavily by beliefs and responsibilities of an adherent. Through the Bible, teachings by Jesus through parables such as the ‘Good Samaritan’ educate them on the way they should behave in everyday situations. In this parable, a man is neglected by a priest and a Levite but is helped by a Samaritan, a person who was disliked in that time. It shows Christians that they should help everyone who is in need, leaving no one behind.

This novel refreshes the mind on the level of intensity these people were put through, morally, physically and emotionally. The majority of the slaves were hand in hand with their religion. Isabella’s mother always taught her children to pray no matter what and instilled in them the qualities of being good people “she taught them to kneel and say the Lord’s Prayer. She entreated them to refrain from lying and stealing and to strive to obey their masters”. (Truth p.12) Isabella being loyal to her mother would do so whenever she ran into trouble, this also shows the loyalty towards her religion.
2. I think that her religious beliefs were extremely important for her to survive too. Because she was praying and asking Got to help her. She was religious, it proves the fact that she did not want to work on the Sabbath. And knowing that there is somebody up there gives you power to go through.
Our focus as believers, for ourselves, is to love and worship God, to uplift Him in everything we do, to glorify Him in our lives, to love those around us, to be a light in a dark world, and to share God’s love with everyone around us. It ultimately comes back to us serving God and pleasing Him (Crabb, 1977, p. 21). As Psalm 144:15 states, “Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord”. Rather than seeking happiness, one should focus their efforts on seeking God. From there, true happiness will emerge.
Before Martin Luther started the Protestant Reformation in 1517, printers who translated the bible into a language the people could understand, were burned at the stake by the church. The church did not want anyone to challenge its position of wealth and privilege. Luther himself translated the bible into German, and the church would have burned him alive if they had captured him. It is very easy to make a case against the church as a suppressor of societal development and
In a letter to Linda, her grandmother reminds her that even though she may not be on Earth much longer, they will always have a connection through God and they will see each other in heaven someday. She also says, “Strive, my child, to train them for God’s children” (pg.220). These final words that Linda reads from her grandmother really summarizes the biggest religious impact in her life, her grandmother’s faith. It is her grandmother that keeps Linda’s hopes up throughout the book by telling her that god is always with them and that someday he will repay them for their suffering. She is the source of faith and a citadel type place for Linda to go when she loses in hope in what she is doing and fighting for.
Most of Momma’s actions and lessons that she teaches Maya are related to God, and that is how she justifies things like the importance of cleanliness. “But Momma convinced us that not only was cleanliness next to Godliness, dirtiness was the inventor of misery.” (27) Religion helps Maya throughout the rest of her life, because her faith in God gives her hope and something to hold on to. It is clear that Momma Henderson really does love Bailey and Maya, but she is very secretive and unaffectionate towards them. It seems by her gestures throughout the book that she does not want them to see her as vulnerable. When Maya asks if Momma loves her, Momma avoids answering the question and turns again to a response about God.
