42. In what way does God reveal that He is love? (CCC 218-223)
Compendium states:
God revealed himself
to Israel as the “One who has a stronger love than that of parents
for their children or of husbands and wives for the spouses. God in
himself “is love” (1Jn 4:8:16), who gives Himself completely and gratuitously,
who “so loved the world that he gave His only Son so that the world might be
saved through him: ( John 3:16) By sending His Son and the Holy Spirit, God
reveals that He himself is an eternal exchange of love.
What does this mean for me?
1.
God loves me unconditionally.
2.
I can repent of the times where I
have not loved God with my whole
heart and give Him an exchange
of love that God deserves.
Questions to consider:
1. How will a child who has had a
parent/s who have been inadequate learn to respond to God who is love Himself?
2. What image do I have of God?
3. How can I give God my eternal
exchange of love in my life? What needs to change?
