Good Morning Father, the most important question that should be asked is "what makes a good christian"
Answer to Question 6.
God is love and every Christian must strive to attain this Christ-like
love for all people and all of God’s creation. Love is the criterion by
which we shall be judged. If we cannot love our fellow men then in truth
we don’t love Christ, because he has created each man in his own image and
likeness. Christian love transcends above someone’s physical appearance,
social standing, ethnic origin, intellectual capacity and reaches the
soul, the unique personal root of a human being where the image of God is.
To understand what love means read the Parable of the Last Judgment
(Matthew 25:31-46).
