40. Why is the revelation of God's name
important?
206-213
In revealing his name, God makes
known the riches contained in the ineffable mystery of his being. He alone is
from everlasting to everlasting. He is the One who transcends the world and
history. It is he who made heaven and earth. He is the faithful God, always
close to his people, in order to save them. He is the highest holiness, “rich
in mercy” (
Ephesians 2:4),
always ready to forgive. He is the One who is spiritual, transcendent,
omnipotent, eternal, personal, and perfect. He is truth and love.
“God is the infinitely perfect being who is
the most Holy Trinity.” (Saint
Turibius of Montenegro)
