And Colégio Sinodal da Paz presented:

The production of this text was collective by the group of Live your Faith. Each student wrote a paragraph. Of these, we produced a summary with the main ideas.

What defines Christian character? Everyone agrees that a Christian person should love and seek the good of others. A Christian person should not judge another, but should welcome and help others, especially the person in need. In the quest for evolution and self-knowledge, you must deny sin, but not judge and minimize the person who sins. The Christian person must know how to include those who are different, recognizing that Christ forgives sins, and teaches us that we must forgive one another. The Christian person speaks of Christ to other people, witnesses to his love and the truth of the gospel. So, we evolve in empathy, in selfless love, and look beyond our walls. We should seek humility, devotion in faith, respect and kindness. More important than practicing rites, we must learn to respect all people, who are part of God’s Creation, in addition to the doctrines we follow.
