VILA PORRAS, Carolina. The Love of God Becomes more Human:. Cuest. teol. [online]. 2017, vol.44, n.101, pp.43-66. ISSN 0120-131X.  https://doi.org/10.18566/cueteo.v44n101.a03.

Based on a literature review in the field of theology, the article considers the way in which the love of God becomes more human. Therefore, the article studies in depth the humanization of God and the divinization of the human being, the ideas of human being and being a Christian, and the transforming force of the beatitudes. The article also offers some thoughts concerning the meaning of the beatitudes and their role in Christian life. Such need to live the Christianity and preach it in the more human possible way is derived from an evangelical instruction, which is reproduced in the first Christian community: "...you will be my witnesses..." (Acts 1, 8; Cf. Mk. 16, 15; Mt. 28, 19-20; Lk. 24, 46-48; Jn. 15, 27; 22, 15; 1 Jn. 1, 1-3; Mt. 10, 17-18). It is also a constant claim of those who demand to Christians of all times to be witnesses able to radically live the teachings of Jesus and his option to the kingdom, where loving the neighbors is real.
