CCC 219
Profession of Faith›SECTION TWO I. THE CREEDS›CHAPTER ONE I BELIEVE IN GOD THE FATHER›Paragraph 1. I BELIEVE IN GOD
God's love for Israel is compared to a father's love for his son. His love for his people is stronger than a mother's for her children. God loves his people more than a bridegroom his beloved; his love will be victorious over even the worst infidelities and will extend to his most precious gift: "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son."
