50 By natural reason man can
know God with certainty, on the
basis of his works. But
there is another order
of knowledge, which man cannot
possibly arrive at by his own
powers: the order of divine Revelation. (cf. Dei Filius: DS 3015.)
Through an utterly free decision,
God has revealed himself and given
himself to man. This he does by
revealing the mystery, his plan
of loving goodness, formed from
all eternity in Christ, for the
benefit of all men.
God has fully
revealed this plan by sending
us his beloved Son, our Lord Jesus
Christ, and the Holy Spirit. |
