Christians believe in God's will and that he has a plan for everyone and people can choose to follow him and live by him.God gives humans mortality as well as wealth, He is the basis of their religion. In the battles between Beowulf and the 3 monsters as well as Grendel, God and Beowulf's faith helped good conquer over evil. The Christian God can be tied back to every one of these common themes in Beowulf.

Pagans believe more in the concept of fate. Fate is the belief that events that are beyond a person's control are predetermined by a supernatural power.Pagans believed they had immortal souls that would live forever, either in heavenly bliss or infernal torment.
