Why believe in one God?
37. Why does one profess belief that there is only one God? (CCC 200-202, 228)
Compendium states:
Belief in the one God is professed
because He has revealed Himself to the people of Israel as the only One when He
said,” Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord” (Deuteronomy 6:4) and there
“there is no other”
(Isaiah 45:22). Jesus himself
confirmed that God is “the one Lord” (Mark12:29). To confess that Jesus
and the Holy Spirit are also God and Lord does not introduce any division into
the one God.
What does this mean for me?
1.
I can look up these references and
learn them in context as an aid to strengthening my belief in One God.
Questions to consider:
1.
Why do I personally believe in the
One God?
2.
What is my relationship with Father,
Son and Spirit?
3.
Is the Lord our God the one Lord of
my life and is there any other?
4.
What are the ‘other gods’ in my life
and how will I repent of these gods?
