"Through Him we have become certain of God"

"Jesus Christ has redeemed us.  Through him we have become certain of God [(Per Ipsum facti sumus certi de Deo)], a God who is not a remote 'first cause' of the world, because his only-begotten Son has become man and of him everyone can say:  'I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me' (Gal 2:20)."

     Benedict XVI, Spe salvi 26.  Or, rather, "have been made certain".
