Yes I learned to do everything differently because of that moment in my life. That was the beginning of my journey home to my lord and savior. But there were other moments when I was led by the Holy Spirit to other people and by his grace I did not and have not faltered. Many times I have reflected on that moment and I’ve seen his holy plan for me. My faith is my strength. Thus, I am here to touch everyone and witness to his holy love for you all. Since that moment only a few, the spirit has sent me too have rejected his message. This is why I pray without cease My God has revealed all to me. Yet I am here and I will follow without deviation from his holy plan. So I say to you all that without faith it is impossible to please God. For he who comes to God must believe that he is.

  • How Does Langston Hughes Use Syntax In Salvation

    601 Words  | 3 Pages

    Few religions outline the exact steps towards salvation. They follow this practice with the belief that no mortal can truly know whether they will see heaven’s pearly gates, even if he or she spends years knocking on doors with tracts and Bibles in hand. In Langston Hughes’ “Salvation,” however, a church in the midst of a revival pleads and shouts that a young Hughes simply needs to see Jesus to be saved. But when Hughes can’t see Jesus, he loses faith in both salvation and himself. To help his readers understand his younger self’s reasoning for his loss of faith, Hughes manipulates his syntax to immerse the audience in his naive 13-year-old mind.

    I am by no means a religious person, the religious context was also underplayed for lack of a better term. There was no great light, there was nothing that could cause a 180-degree turn from a life of sin to a life of faith and righteousness. There was simply a man who had experienced tragedies distantly and had to return to his normal life as if all of that never happened. Taking the changes in ones mind and deep down into the very fiber of ones being, and not being able to make sense of things is something that most if not everyone should have experienced. Even if it is not as dramatically occurred to us all, there are still many tribulations that we all must navigate our way through.
