AG

The Son was begotten in time through the incarnation and is the genuine human life of Jesus Christ.

The biblical starting point

Key Scriptures

Isaiah 9:6The born child bears titles that belong to God himself.Hebrews 1:8–9The Son is directly addressed as God while his anointed messianic role is affirmed.Luke 1:35Son of God is connected directly to the miraculous conception and birth.1 Corinthians 15:24–28Christ's mediatorial kingdom reaches its appointed goal when every enemy is defeated.

Common questions

Answer the real objection.

Why did Jesus pray if he is God?Jesus prayed from his genuine human life as the Son, not because a second divine God needed help from the first.Who was Jesus praying to?The man Christ Jesus prayed to the eternal God who was his Father and who also dwelt in him.Did the Son exist eternally?The one who became the Son is eternally God, but Scripture connects sonship to the incarnation, birth, and redemptive mission.Why is Jesus called the Son of God?Because he was conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of Mary as the holy human manifestation through whom God saved us.
