God
is love, everything He does is love. Since He is perfect He does not have to
increase His happiness. HE is perfect. Therefore His love has to be external calling
man to share His perfection, gives him natural and supernatural life - divine son ship
elevating him to heaven.
Man sinned - God still loved him, extending to be yet with Him in heaven, sending to us
His Son that we may be with Him for all eternity.
The Word became flesh - God is love and His love for us is merciful love.
Adam and Eve destroyed the original plan of God when they sinned. The plan seemed
to be destroyed for all eternity. God could have dropped mankind with nothing more to
do with him.
God wanted something to give Him satisfaction - a human and divine Being, offering
satisfaction on behalf of man and receiving satisfaction on the part of God.
Creed: "Who for us men and for our salvation, descended from heaven and became
incarnate." This doctrine of the Incarnation has been with the Church since the
beginning.
If there is no ingratitude and misery greater than sin, there can be no love greater than
that of Him who inclines over so much ingratitude and abjection to restore it to its primal
spender.
