Love is a gift that comes from God, who is Love Himself.
God is Love
By Grace, Through Faith, In Christ
In an attitude of humility and love, and by bowing before the infinite mystery of God, we gratefully proclaim the central truths of our faith: salvation, the entire work of God’s sovereign grace, received solely through faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who is fully God and fully man within the Trinity.
– Grace as the sole source of salvation
– Faith as the only means of receiving it.
– Christ as the foundation of this faith.
Undeserved Divine Favor
Fully manifested in Jesus Christ, Grace is not reduced to passive forgiveness, but acts as a living and transforming force. It justifies the sinner by faith and sanctifies them, enabling them to live according to the divine will. Although unconditional in its origin, Grace requires a human response of faith. This does not constitute a meritorious work, but the means by which humankind welcomes Grace and enters into communion with God. Thus, Grace presents itself as the founding, transforming, and relational principle of the Christian life.
Justification by Faith Alone
Faith is not mere sentiment but a rational and relational trust grounded in divine revelation. Faith affirms that Christianity is based on truth and knowledge, as disclosed in Scripture and in the person of Christ. The Bible, as the inspired and inerrant Word of God, stands as the supreme authority for faith, doctrine, and conduct.
To live by faith is to trust in God’s providential plan, even without full understanding, relying on His guidance as revealed in Scripture.
Jesus is Lord, an Essential Condition for Salvation
Jesus came not only to save us but also to rule over us. Only the Lord of the Universe had the power to triumph over death in order to offer us eternal life, to deliver us from Satan’s dominion, and to bring us into His kingdom. In receiving Christ, we receive Him wholly. And by redeeming us, He claims us entirely. Let us serve Him in every aspect of our lives and love Him with all our being, until we see Him face to face and our love for Him is made perfect.
In Christ’s Love!

Why Seek to Know God?
We humans often ask ourselves the question: “Why do we need to know God?”
Knowing God constitutes the very foundation of an existence truly oriented toward meaning and spiritual fulfillment. Through this living knowledge, the eyes of our hearts are opened to the divine light, and we discern the glorious hope to which we have been called. The unfathomable riches of His heavenly inheritance are revealed to us, and we experience the incomparable greatness of God’s power working on behalf of those who believe.
This knowledge of God is not simply intellectual; it is part of an interior and mystical journey, a progressive communion shaped by grace, perseverance, and the experience of lived faith. Throughout our earthly inner pilgrimage, it deepens according to our openness to the Spirit and the quality of our personal relationship with the Lord
REFLECTION
In our quest for God, we not only discover His nature and attributes as Creator, but we also forge a personal relationship with Him, allowing us to know Him experientially. This relationship operates on the level of the spirit and soul, offering a profound transformation in the face of our imperfections, sin, and opening the way to redemption. The ultimate expression of this love is found in the Incarnation, where Christ becomes man through kenosis to show us the way to eternal life and salvation.
Salvation comes from God. Jesus Christ is the only Savior.
Faith is necessary. Grace is central.
