For us men and for our salvation, he came down and became incarnate, was made man, suffered, and rose again on the third day. He was aware of His purpose, even from a young age ( Luke 2:49 ), and intentionally set about to fulfill it. There is only one salvific economy of the One and Triune God, realized in the mystery of the incarnation, death, and resurrection of the Son of God, actualized with the cooperation of the Holy Spirit, and extended in its salvific value to all humanity and to the entire universe: No one, therefore, can enter into communion with God except through Christ, by the working of the Holy Spirit.41, III. Thus, as noted above, the Second Vatican Council, in considering the customs, precepts, and teachings of the other religions, teaches that although differing in many ways from her own teaching, these nevertheless often reflect a ray of that truth which enlightens all men.23, The Church's tradition, however, reserves the designation of inspired texts to the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments, since these are inspired by the Holy Spirit.24 Taking up this tradition, the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation of the Second Vatican Council states: For Holy Mother Church, relying on the faith of the apostolic age, accepts as sacred and canonical the books of the Old and New Testaments, whole and entire, with all their parts, on the grounds that, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit (cf. (14) Second Vatican Council, Dogmatic Constitution Dei verbum, 4. In the process of discovering and appreciating the manifold gifts - especially the spiritual treasures - that God has bestowed on every people, we cannot separate those gifts from Jesus Christ, who is at the centre of God's plan of salvation.31, It is likewise contrary to the Catholic faith to introduce a separation between the salvific action of the Word as such and that of the Word made man. 12. In this sense, one can and must say that Jesus Christ has a significance and a value for the human race and its history, which are unique and singular, proper to him alone, exclusive, universal, and absolute. Indeed, Jesus Christ continues his presence and his work of salvation in the Church and by means of the Church (cf. Sorry, preview is currently unavailable. To learn more, view ourPrivacy Policy. Theirs is a story in which the ordinary and the miraculous intertwine. (33) Cf.

Pius XII, Encyclical Letter Mystici corporis: DS 3821. 10, 5: SC 248, 180: Remember, Lord, your Church and, made holy, gather her together from the four winds into your kingdom which you have prepared for her. (88) Cf. Certainly, the various religious traditions contain and offer religious elements which come from God,85 and which are part of what the Spirit brings about in human hearts and in the history of peoples, in cultures, and religions.86 Indeed, some prayers and rituals of the other religions may assume a role of preparation for the Gospel, in that they are occasions or pedagogical helps in which the human heart is prompted to be open to the action of God.87 One cannot attribute to these, however, a divine origin or an ex opere operato salvific efficacy, which is proper to the Christian sacraments.88 Furthermore, it cannot be overlooked that other rituals, insofar as they depend on superstitions or other errors (cf. Jesus sent his disciples and us. mission is first and foremost God's own mission. The Mission of God is a clarion call for Christians and God's church to awaken and recover a full-orbed gospel and comprehensive faith that recognizes and applies the salvation-victory and lordship of Jesus Christ to all creation: from the family, to education, evangelism, law, church, state and every other sphere. 9. Thus, the certainty of the universal salvific will of God does not diminish, but rather increases the duty and urgency of the proclamation of salvation and of conversion to the Lord Jesus Christ. The mission of the Church is to proclaim and establish among all peoples the kingdom of Christ and of God, and she is on earth, the seed and the beginning of that kingdom.68 On the one hand, the Church is a sacrament - that is, sign and instrument of intimate union with God and of unity of the entire human race.69 She is therefore the sign and instrument of the kingdom; she is called to announce and to establish the kingdom. Second Vatican Council, Decree Unitatis redintegratio, 4; John Paul II, Encyclical Letter Ut unum sint, 11: AAS 87 (1995), 927. 1 Cor 10:20-21), constitute an obstacle to salvation.89, 22. also St. Irenaeus, Adversus haereses, III, 3, 1-3: SC 211, 20-44; St. Cyprian, Epist. 20. (72) Cf. (32) Cf. . In presenting the Father's salvific plan for all humanity, the Council closely links the mystery of Christ from its very beginnings with that of the Spirit.35 The entire work of building the Church by Jesus Christ the Head, in the course of the centuries, is seen as an action which he does in communion with his Spirit.36, Furthermore, the salvific action of Jesus Christ, with and through his Spirit, extends beyond the visible boundaries of the Church to all humanity. Jesus is also the perfect example of love. 0000022371 00000 n . With the coming of the Saviour Jesus Christ, God has willed that the Church founded by him be the instrument for the salvation of all humanity (cf. For this reason, they possess in themselves the definitiveness and completeness of the revelation of God's salvific ways, even if the depth of the divine mystery in itself remains transcendent and inexhaustible. Mt 16:18; 28:20) and that he would guide her by his Spirit (cf. (35) Cf. Purpose. (98) Cf. (66) Second Vatican Council, Decree Unitatis redintegratio, 3. Such a position is in radical contradiction with the foregoing statements of Catholic faith according to which the full and complete revelation of the salvific mystery of God is given in Jesus Christ.

(71) Second Vatican Council, Dogmatic Constitution Lumen gentium, 3. Especially in those things that concern God and his Church, all persons are required to seek the truth, and when they come to know it, to embrace it and hold fast to it.99, The revelation of Christ will continue to be the true lodestar 100 in history for all humanity: The truth, which is Christ, imposes itself as an all-embracing authority. Today, many think they are free, but we realize that they are imprisoned by such things as addiction, hate, violence, hypocrisy, envy, greed, and many other sins. In fact, the mystery of Christ has its own intrinsic unity, which extends from the eternal choice in God to the parousia: he [the Father] chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love (Eph 1:4); In Christ we are heirs, having been destined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will (Eph 1:11); For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers; those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified (Rom 8:29-30). In this task, the present Declaration seeks to recall to Bishops, theologians, and all the Catholic faithful, certain indispensable elements of Christian doctrine, which may help theological reflection in developing solutions consistent with the contents of the faith and responsive to the pressing needs of contemporary culture. (21) John Paul II, Encyclical Letter Fides et ratio, 13. 23. (83) Second Vatican Council, Decree Ad gentes, 7. This position also is contrary to the Catholic faith, which, on the contrary, considers the salvific incarnation of the Word as a trinitarian event. 0000096806 00000 n The New Testament attests to this fact with clarity: The Father has sent his Son as the Saviour of the world (1 Jn 4:14); Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (Jn 1:29). Jesus replied, Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin (John 8:34). Thus, we must believe in no one but God: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.20, For this reason, the distinction between theological faith and belief in the other religions, must be firmly held. Read Luke 4:16-21. It is proposed that: first, John uses dualistic language with the rhetorical purpose of bringing across ironies, exposing underlying motives of characters, and heightening the impossibility of a middle ground; second, he deliberately portrays a few characters ambiguously to reflect the complexities of lifeone cannot and should not easily classify everyone neatly into dualistic categories; and third, John has a distinctive emphasis on divine providence with regard to facing persecution. In the course of the centuries, the Church has proclaimed and witnessed with fidelity to the Gospel of Jesus. 0000003269 00000 n (79) Second Vatican Council, Dogmatic Constitution Lumen gentium, 48.

Just as there is one Christ, so there exists a single body of Christ, a single Bride of Christ: a single Catholic and apostolic Church.51 Furthermore, the promises of the Lord that he would not abandon his Church (cf. Jesus is, in fact, the Word of God made man for the salvation of all. (60) Cf. Prisoners of the devil. redemption from sin: becoming right with God again (or righteousness) by being the penal substitute. More importantly, He made these miracles possible. Likewise, one may not separate the kingdom from the Church. 101 The Christian mystery, in fact, overcomes all barriers of time and space, and accomplishes the unity of the human family: From their different locations and traditions all are called in Christ to share in the unity of the family of God's children Jesus destroys the walls of division and creates unity in a new and unsurpassed way through our sharing in his mystery. Born of a mortal mother and an immortal Father, He was the only one who could voluntarily lay down His life and take it up again (see John 10:14-18 ). Second Vatican Council, Decree Ad gentes, 9, where it speaks of the elements of good present in the particular customs and cultures of peoples; Dogmatic Constitution Lumen gentium, 16, where it mentions the elements of good and of truth present among non-Christians, which can be considered a preparation for the reception of the Gospel.

Christ sacrificed himself for all because sin, which separates people from God, is part of the human condition. In considering the relationship between the kingdom of God, the kingdom of Christ, and the Church, it is necessary to avoid one-sided accentuations, as is the case with those conceptions which deliberately emphasize the kingdom and which describe themselves as 'kingdom centred.' (6) Cf. The Lord Jesus, the only Saviour, did not only establish a simple community of disciples, but constituted the Church as a salvific mystery: he himself is in the Church and the Church is in him (cf.

Jesus, the Liberator - the view from the Gospels Naming Jesus "the Liberator" is practically synonymous with naming him "Savior," "Redeemer," and "Deliverer."

The first would have a greater universal value than the second, which is limited to Christians, though God's presence would be more full in the second. Not infrequently it is proposed that theology should avoid the use of terms like unicity, universality, and absoluteness, which give the impression of excessive emphasis on the significance and value of the salvific event of Jesus Christ in relation to other religions. God sends himself before he sends his church. 13. In him the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him, God was pleased to reconcile all things to himself, on earth and in the heavens, making peace by the blood of his Cross (Col 1:13-14; 19-20). St. Paul adds, moreover, that Jesus Christ is Lord of all, judge of the living and the dead, and thus whoever believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name (Acts 10: 36,42,43). Rom 1:5; 2 Cor 10:5-6) by which man freely entrusts his entire self to God, offering 'the full submission of intellect and will to God who reveals' and freely assenting to the revelation given by him.15 Faith is a gift of grace: in order to have faith, the grace of God must come first and give assistance; there must also be the interior helps of the Holy Spirit, who moves the heart and converts it to God, who opens the eyes of the mind and gives 'to everyone joy and ease in assenting to and believing in the truth'.16, The obedience of faith implies acceptance of the truth of Christ's revelation, guaranteed by God, who is Truth itself:17 Faith is first of all a personal adherence of man to God. Because she believes in God's universal plan of salvation, the Church must be missionary.96 Inter-religious dialogue, therefore, as part of her evangelizing mission, is just one of the actions of the Church in her mission ad gentes.97 Equality, which is a presupposition of inter-religious dialogue, refers to the equal personal dignity of the parties in dialogue, not to doctrinal content, nor even less to the position of Jesus Christ - who is God himself made man - in relation to the founders of the other religions.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. Hence, the connection is clear between the salvific mystery of the Incarnate Word and that of the Spirit, who actualizes the salvific efficacy of the Son made man in the lives of all people, called by God to a single goal, both those who historically preceded the Word made man, and those who live after his coming in history: the Spirit of the Father, bestowed abundantly by the Son, is the animator of all (cf.

The Mission of Jesus Christ (The Paschal Mystery) 1 Tim 2:4); it is necessary to keep these two truths together, namely, the real possibility of salvation in Christ for all mankind and the necessity of the Church for this salvation.78, The Church is the universal sacrament of salvation,79 since, united always in a mysterious way to the Saviour Jesus Christ, her Head, and subordinated to him, she has, in God's plan, an indispensable relationship with the salvation of every human being.80 For those who are not formally and visibly members of the Church, salvation in Christ is accessible by virtue of a grace which, while having a mysterious relationship to the Church, does not make them formally part of the Church, but enlightens them in a way which is accommodated to their spiritual and material situation.

Wright This grace comes from Christ; it is the result of his sacrifice and is communicated by the Holy Spirit;81 it has a relationship with the Church, which according to the plan of the Father, has her origin in the mission of the Son and the Holy Spirit.82. As the second millennium after Christ's coming draws to an end, an overall view of the human race shows that this mission is still only beginning and that we must commit ourselves wholeheartedly to its service.
