What is God? Our idea of God is based upon God’s revelation of Himself to man in the Old and New Testaments. God revealed himself to mankind gradually, beginning from Adam and culminating in the Son of God, Jesus Christ. It was only when the Son of God took flesh that we received a more profound understanding of who God is: one God in three persons. His Revelation is an act of love. The God we Christians believe in has come incredibly close to us. God came to us as one of us to tell us about this own inner life. Even though Jesus has revealed to us God’s inner life, we must always remember that our knowledge of Him is still in fact defective. We can never fully know God. But that’s part of the beauty of our Faith. It always remains a mystery we can explore.
