 WHY DO WE SEEK GOD?
God has placed in our hearts a longing to seek
and find him.
St. Augustine says, “You have made us for
yourself, and our heart is restless until it
rests in you.”
We call this longing for God.
 WHY DO WE BELIEVE IN ONLY ONE GOD?

We believe in one God because, according to the testimony of

Sacred Scripture, there is only one God and, according to the
laws of logic, there can be only one.

We revere God as Father first of

all because he is the Creator and cares
lovingly for his creatures. Jesus, the Son
of God, has taught us, furthermore, to
regard his Father as our Father and to
address him as “our Father”.

Is Jesus God? Does he belong to
the Trinity?

The Church confesses that Jesus Christ is true God

and true man, with two natures, a divine nature
and a human nature, not confused with each other
but united in the Person of the Word. Therefore, in
the humanity of Jesus all things - his miracles, his
suffering, and his death - must be attributed to his
divine Person which acts by means of his assumed
human nature.
(Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church 89)
Is Jesus God? Does he belong to
the Trinity?

Jesus of Nazareth is the Son, the

second Divine person mentioned
when we pray, “In the name of
the Father and the Son and the
of the Holy Spirit” (Mt 28:9) .
What does the name
“Jesus” means?

Jesus means in Hebrew

“God saves.”

In the Acts of the Apostles, Peter

says, “There is no other name
under heaven given among men
by which we must saved” (Acts
4:12).
 Why Jesus called “Christ”?

The brief formula “Jesus is the Christ”

expresses the core of the Christian faith: Jesus,
the simple carpenter’s son from Nazareth, is
the long-awaited Messiah and Savior.
 Why Jesus called “Christ”?

Both the Greek word, “Christos” and the

Hebrew word “Messiah” mean “the
Anointed One.”

We are called Christians after Christ,

as an expression of our exalted vocation.
CHRISTIAN
Without CHRIST, I Am Nothing.
What does it mean to say that Jesus
is “the only-begotten Son of God?”

When Jesus calls himself “God’s

only-begotten Son”
(or “only Son” , Jn 3:16) and Peter
and others bear witness to this, the
expression means that of all human
beings only Jesus is more than a
man and has a unique relationship
to God, his Father.
 Why do Christian address Jesus as “Lord”?
“You call me Teacher and Lord; and you are
right, for so I am” (Jn 13:13)
 Why did God become man in Jesus?

“For us men and for our salvation he came down from

heaven” (Nicene Creed)
[CCC 456-460]
