2. God's way of coming to us.

God's way of coming to us 2: Scripture, Tradition, Magisterium Compendium 11-24 Scripture 1 Timothy 2:4 Our Faith is not a matter of personal conjecture and preferences but rather a Revelation from God and Jesus Christ through Scripture, Tradition and Magisterium. The high point of revelation occurred when God the Father sent his only Son, the second Person of the Trinity into the world and the Son became like us in every way yet without sin. God has revealed himself in ways entirely suited with our humanity so that we might share in his divinity in an eternal relationship of love. The two sources of God's revelation and self-communication to us are Scripture and Tradition. The Apostles shared God's revelation of his life and love in his Son, Jesus Christ, in their inspired preaching, example, martyrdom and the institutions they established. Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition constitute the deposit of Faith. Christ established Peter and the Apostles as the first Magisterium and promised to protect their teachings from error. The Pope and the bishops together are the only unbroken successors of that Magisterium and promise.
