We know this to be true because christianity is made up of people with real hearts and emotions. We are made up to be smaller versions of christ in the ways we interact with others. Many christians are able to show the love and forgiveness, but even if others turn their backs on us we can always look towards God. As christians it is easier for us to show forgiveness and spread the word, because know how it feels to be forgiven for everything. I agree in totally with the part of the quote that says, “following Christ and shaping our world, is to announce redemption to a world that has discovered its fallenness”. We sometimes look over this key factor, but our relationship with christ has made christianity more personal for us and our redemption stories. I not always fully understood what God had in plan for me, and I even thought that he did not love me. Then I was introduced to the catholic faith and was shown how much God truly cared for me. I was also shown that although I was part of a fallen world, that redemption was possible for me. This caused me to become a devoted Catholic and allowed me to see the greatness of God. In all actuality I believe the quote somewhat represents the true heart of a good christian. Although, some sections are arguable due to the fact that everyone is not perfect and that we can be separated by others as a result of their actions. Other then that this quote shows the truth
