Very brave, too. And decent… Kiowa had been raised to believe in the promise of salvation under Jesus Christ, and this conviction had always been present in the boy’s smile, in his posture toward the world, in the way he never went anywhere without an illustrated New Testament that his father mailed him…”(157) This quote is from after Kiowa died. The author, who was also one of Kiowa’s friends, puts this as a conclusion and a summary of Kiowa. Indirect Characterization makes this quote so much more powerful because it is a thought coming from Jimmy Cross.

He adores the country and is likely to return from a walk with tail wagging and covered with mud
Abraham and Isaacs situation teaches an example of what devotion and loyalty to religion can look like. Despite facing an internal conflict on whether or not to give up his only son, Abraham puts his trust within his higher power, which in this case is God. Although not said in blatant terms, it can be assumed that Abraham felt some hesitation in deciding to offer up his son’s life.

This gives a hint that Abraham truly trusted the intentions of God and how he potentially could spare Isaac’s life.

King Arthur was a very powerful and intelligent king. From childhood, he learned many virtues and lessons, but he didn’t know that the lessons he was learning had to do with becoming a great leader.

The opening of the film captures a quote from Saint Augustine, “Do not despair, one of the thieves was saved. Do not despair, one of the thieves was damned”. Gleeson's character, Father James maintains a gentle and kind approach towards the characters in the film. Throughout the film he tends to the needs of his “flock”.

He gave us a gift to use it for His glory.

I think Gatsby follows his real Father. As we find out after Gatsby dies his father wasn’t dead and he always knew that, but he never wanted anyone else to. I also believe that Gatsby is very confident that he will always be rich and has no problem saying he is a son of God, who is powerful and all knowing. I think Gatsby has been trying to prove himself to Daisy but also his father this entire book because he wanted to show that he could make a man of himself without anyones help. Fitzgerald gained a sense of credibility from making the allusion to the Bible.

The songs “Amazing Grace” and “Go Down, Moses” are also excellent examples of gospel songs that share the good news of God. “Amazing Grace” has become popularized throughout the Christian religion and shares a message of hope and redemption. “Amazing Grace” speaks about being redeemed, because Jesus Christ washed away our sins when he died on the cross.
