Man's Call To Salvation

God reveals Himself in deeds and words.God can be known through what He has created.The greatest,beauty,and order of creation stand as witnesses to God for all of us to see. St. Paul teaches:(Since the creation of the world,invisible realities--God's eternal power and divinity--have come visible, recognized through the things He has made.)(Romans 1:20).

God reveals Himself also through Biblical signs--through the covenants with Noah and Moses and through the prophets. He reveals Himself as a living and true God who takes care of His people and Who treat them with justice.("Through the patriarchs, and through Moses and the prophets He taught this nation to acknowledge Himself as the one living and true God,provident Father and just Judge.He also told them to wait for the savior that He had promised.In this manner He prepared the way for the Gospel down through the centuries")(Vat. II, Revelation, 3.)

The coming of Jesus perfected and completed the revelation through Jesus' words and deeds, His signs and miracles, His death and Resurrection, and the descent of the Spirit of Truth. Moreover, He confirmed with divine testimony what revelation proclaimed: that God is with us to free us from the darkness of sin and death, and the raise us up to life eternal (Vat. II, Revelation 4),"For He sent His son, the eternal Word,who enlightens all men,so that He might dwell among men and tell them the innermost realities about God (John 1:1-18)
