Commentary on Catechism of the Catholic Church I Know Whom I Have Believed
Faith is the personal adherence of man to God and the absolute free assent to all God’s revelations. In this definition, faith in God is different from faith in man. For it is right and just to entrust ourselves to God and to believe absolutely what He says. Doing the same thing to a creature would be futile and false. However, to believe in God means to also believe in Christ for Christ is God. Only Christ has seen the Father and thus can reveal the Father, no other man can do that. Finally we also believe in the Holy Spirit because it is revealed to us in Scripture that He is God. As it is the Holy Spirit who reveals to us the divinity of Christ. What appearances fail to reveal, the Holy Spirit by our faith reveals the truth. The Holy Spirit alone knows God because God alone knows God.
