Aquinas uses his writing to persuasively show that God works through events to immerse themselves into God’s life and act in a sense that shows true freedom. By doing so, Aquinas is able to engage the reader in the concept of faith without having to stating it. Aquinas thinks of law as divine instruction and God will not limit us but will instruct us. For example, Aquinas writes about how one should love one’s neighbor because God exists in all of us. We are able to see and give back to God by loving one’s neighbor. Aquinas writes “…the habit of charity extends not only to love of God, but also to love of neighbor.” (q. 25 a. 1) Aquinas is telling the reader how God is able to act through all, and so we should love our neighbor because of this.
