Why Did He Come? Why Did God Become Man?

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, “The Annunciation,” ca. 1655

“God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness, freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life. … To accomplish this, when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son as Redeemer and Savior.” (CCC 1)
