"The Christian response is contained in these two fundamental dogmas: that of the Trinity and that of the Incarnation. In the trinitarian dogma God is one, good, true, and beautiful because he is essentially Love, and Love supposes the one, the other, and their unity"

The quote by Hans Urs von Balthasar speaks to the Christian action to the essential dogmas of the Trinity and the Incarnation. The Trinity is the belief that God is one, but exists in 3 persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Incarnation is the belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who became human and died for the sins of humanity. Von Balthasar specifies that God is one, good, real, and lovely due to the fact that He is essentially Love. Love suggests the existence of 2 persons, and their unity. This unity is seen in the Trinity, where the three individuals of God are joined in one. The Incarnation is the supreme expression of this unity, as God became male in order to save mankind from sin. The Christian action to these two fundamental dogmas is to accept them as fact, and to reside in accordance with them.
