Document Summary
We should focus on repenting and loving one another and loving god. To be christian one must have faith in the existence of god. One shows their faith through conduct and affirmation of doctrine. To give thanks to god for sacrificing his only son so that our sins can be forgiven. We love god because he is our creator, but also for saving us from our sins for all eternity. Jesus places emphasis on forgiveness more than any other religion. Jesus commands that we forgive and accept our enemies as well as our friends. Through traditional christian events, we are able to bond with our families and friends and build a community. We are able to rejoice about the good news together and celebrate our love for god. Christianity has to face the non-spiritual elements used at present day on a worldwide scale, of their traditional events. But they must also face pluralism today as well.
