2905 Proof of faith love - wisdom and omnipotence....

October 1, 1943: Book 37

The believer does not need any proof for his faith because the essence of the eternal deity, i.e. His love, wisdom and omnipotence, is reason enough for everything he is asked to believe. God's love is the first thing that is recognizable everywhere, it is, as it were, the cause of all things that are visible because they all have a purpose which always consists of a useful purpose.... This proves love for the created, for the purpose is always the preservation or existence of the same.... And profound wisdom can always be recognized where love has become active. And the omnipotence of God is proven by every work of creation.... Whose love and omnipotence cannot be doubted, Whose existence is enough to give rise to a deep and unshakeable faith in people even without any proof. For the proof that the creator provides to people is convincing enough to make them believe everything else that is taught through His messengers, through His true representatives on earth. As soon as God is recognized as the creator of all things, faith in His love, wisdom and omnipotence is also unlimited, and in humble devotion man regards himself as a creature which His will called into being by virtue of His love, and he seeks to become worthy of this love by doing everything his creator demands of him.... He accepts His commandments and endeavors to live according to them; he believes in his immortality, in his continued existence after bodily death; he believes that he must fulfill his destiny in order to become blessed; he believes that everything that happens, what is and what is yet to come, are means for man to reach his final goal.... reunion with God.... he believes that the love of God has embodied itself in Jesus Christ in order to make man's path on earth easier. For he always and everywhere sees the love, wisdom and omnipotence of God, and nothing seems unfounded to him. And therefore his faith is deep and lively, it drives him to restless activity on himself, he tries to refine himself because he recognizes himself as imperfect, and he lives according to God's will because he believes.... And thus he also acknowledges the divine revelations as God's word, for again it is faith in His love, wisdom and omnipotence which justifies them, and therefore it is also easy for him to submit to the divine commandments because he has no doubts, because he always has only the goal in mind, which God's love has set for His living creations, because he acknowledges God's wisdom with which He tries to guide His living creations towards the goal, and because he recognizes the most powerful creator of heaven and earth in everything that surrounds him and therefore God's love, wisdom and omnipotence is proof for him which makes him believe with all firmness....
