  • Q. There is a question in “Belonging to God: A First Catechism” that bothers me. It asks: “What makes you a child of God?” The answer given is: “Grace- God’s free gift of love that I do not deserve and cannot earn.” I find the idea that somehow a child of God does not deserve God’s love totally abhorrent. We don’t expect that newborn babies must deserve our love; we simply give them our love. I am convinced that God gives His love in the same way, without any consideration of whether we “deserve” it or not.
