CCC 203
Profession of Faith›SECTION TWO I. THE CREEDS›CHAPTER ONE I BELIEVE IN GOD THE FATHER›Paragraph 1. I BELIEVE IN GOD
God revealed himself to his people Israel by making his name known to them. A name expresses a person's essence and identity and the meaning of this person's life. God has a name; he is not an anonymous force. To disclose one's name is to make oneself known to others; in a way it is to hand oneself over by becoming accessible, capable of being known more intimately and addressed personally.
