Robin Hood Beliefs

Improved Essays
In my perspective Robin Hood is not a true follower of Jesus Christ. I see Robin Hood as a great person, that does good. Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast.” (BibleGateWay, Ephesians) Robin Hood does not follow this verse. Robin Hood can do as many good works as he wants. He can give to the poor, help people in need ,but if he does not have a true relationship with Jesus Christ these works mean nothing at the end of the day. Exodus 20:15 "You shall not steal.” (BibleHub, Exodus) Robin Hood is just a good person. Robin Hood steals from the rich but does this action for a “good” reason. Robin Hood gives the stolen resources to people in need, the “poor”. A follower of Jesus Christ will follow everything in the Holy Bible. Stealing is …show more content…
Robin Hood leadership is a huge aspect of his legend. Robin Hood is a builder. Robin creates strong relationships, for example Robin Hood and Little John are very close and would give their life's for one another. Will Stutely has built a such strong relationship that Robin Hood trust him to lead the yeomen while he is gone off to an adventure. This is critical to the success of a leader. Robin is a strong leader ,but success of the group does not rest on the leader alone. By saying this, you should have great people around you. None of this can happen overnight. It takes commitment and dedication to improve one’s leadership skills. (Ann Paisley Chandler, HuffingtonPost) Another impact Robin Hood has on people is his mindset. His mindset is always to find a solution and not to focus on problem. For example, he found a solution when he helped Allan a Dale to marry his love of his life. So his lover will not be forced to get married to a high ranked officer. (Pyle, Robin Hood Compasses a Marriage of The Merry Adventures of Robin
