"Plan of Loving Goodness"

PART ONE: THE PROFESSION OF FAITH

Section One: "I Believe"- "We Believe"

Chapter Two: God Comes to Meet Man

Article 1: THE REVELATION OF GOD

Man can come to know God through natural reason. Yet, we may lack full understanding of the order of "divine Revelation." God has revealed himself to man freely- his loving goodness by sending his beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. 

I. God Reveals His "Plan of Loving Goodness"

"It pleased God, in his goodness and wisdom, to reveal himself and to make known the mystery of his will. His will was that men should have access to the Father, through Christ, and the Word made flesh, in the Holy Spirit, and thus become sharers in the divine nature."

God communicates to us as he reveals himself to us, enabling us with the capabilities of responding to him, know him, and love him. God's divine plan of Revelation involves a pedagogy. God prepares us as we welcome his plan by stages. 

Comment: The Word of God dwells in us. The Word became the Son of man in order for us to accustom ourselves to perceive God. God also accustoms to dwell in us. We became accustomed to each other according to God's will. Revelation of God undoubtedly unfolds.
