Summary/Abstract: The core of this study is Saint John’s the Apostle statement that says God is love. From Love God created the world and man. Also from love, He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem the sin committed by the primordial couple. In other words, the absolute Love that belongs to the Supreme Being is the source and sap of Creation, thesource of life and the whole meaning of existence. Thus, Love is a gift through which God shows His Love for men, making possible, at the same time, their Love for themselves and for others. Moreover, the Resurrection is the victory of Love over death. The keys that open the gates of Love are faith and allegiance, accomplishing His commandments and prayer. As a result, an entire Theology of Love develops, stressing the fact that divine Love is accomplished, is a Love without death to which we should all aspire.
