St. John 3. 31-36: "The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in his hands. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but must endure God's wrath".
"Jesus is conceived by the Holy Spirit in the Virgin Mary's womb because he is the new Adam, who inaugurates the new creation: 'The first man is of the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven'. From his conception, Christ's humanity is filled with the Holy Spirit, for God 'gives him the Spirit without measure'. From 'his fullness' as the head of redeemed humanity 'we have all received, 'grace upon grace'" (CCC# 504).
