This article is written to let you know from the outset that Jesus Christ is the Only begotten Son of God, the Savior of the world, and there is no other. There is no salvation outside of the Lord Jesus Christ. Only Jesus can save you!
First of all we must understand Jesus Christ is the Son of God, it is not the way human can understand. Humans view a son is the child of a man and woman. God is Spirit, the SELF-EXISTENT AND ETERNAL GOD. God does not have a mother or a wife. What does it mean that Jesus Christ is the Son of God? We must use the Word of God to explain the Word of God. For it is written, Jhn 1:1-5, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was Life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
Here the Word of God explains, Jesus Christ was the Word, and the Word was God. He was Life, the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, men are in the darkness and do not comprehend it.
This article is written to let you know that the Incomparable Jesus Christ is the Son of God. There is no other under Heaven like Jesus Christ because He is One and Only; the Truth, the Way to God, and the Life for all who repent and believe in His name.
The Son of God is the exclusive name and title of Jesus Christ. The modernist or liberal theology teaches that we are all sons of God as Jesus Christ is a son of God. That teaching is a heresy and anti-Christ. Christians are sons of God by adoption, Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God. No one is like Jesus Christ.
Jhn 1:11-13 , “He (Jesus) came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.”
Note: To receive Jesus Christ is to accept and believe in Him as your Lord and Savior. If you receive Jesus Christ, He gives you the right to become children of God. Right in Greek is exousia which means the power of authority and privilege; – it occurs 103 times in the New Testament. To be children of God is a given privilege which is better than to be the children of emperor or king or president. Child in Greek is teknon which means a male child, son, offspring, bonds of love as between parents and children; – it occurs 99 times in the New Testament. In the Old Testament, the people of Israel are children of God. In the New Testament, Christians or believers and followers of Jesus Christ are children of God. Male and female believers in Christ are children of God. In this world there is a distinction in gender. In Heaven Christians are the sons of God. Christians are sons of God are unlike Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Christians are adopted sons of God; Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten Son of God.
Jhn 3:18 , “He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the Only Begotten Son of God.”
Note: In the Scriptures Jesus Christ is designated as the Only Begotten Son of God in the sense of the uniqueness of Jesus Christ because He has no brothers, no one is comparable to Him, and no one is equal to Him. Only Jesus is spoken as the Son of God because by Incarnation God became Man in the form of Jesus bodily who had the dual nature of divinity and humanity. The term (the Son of God) is used preeminently and only of Jesus Christ, as enjoying the supreme love of God, perfectly united to Him in affectionate intimacy, completely privy to His saving councils, and fully obedient to the Father’s will in all His words and acts. Jesus came into the world to reveal the Father. If you have known Jesus, you would have known God. The Son and the Father are One.
1. The devil tempted the Son of God.
Mat 4:3, “And when the tempter came to Him (Christ), he said: If You are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.”
Note: Tempter in Greek is peirazō which means a person who tests one maliciously, craftily to put to the proof his feelings or judgments; a person who tries or tests one’s faith, virtue, character, by enticement to sin; a solicitor to sin; one who puts someone to proof or test; Satan who solicits and suggests; – it occurs 39 times in the New Testament. The tempter was an expert in distorting the truth. Truth becomes “if” to the devil. The dirty trick of the devil is to cast doubt on the truth or distort the Word of God. Whatever the devil suggests you to do, don’t do it. The tempter can put his deadly idea into your head or heart.
Why did the devil tempt the Son of God? The devil wanted the Son of God to fail the test and commit sin. But Jesus Christ was sinless.
2. Demons cried out to Jesus the Son of God.
Mat 8:29, “And behold they cried out, saying: What have we to do with You Jesus, O Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”
Note: Torment in Greek is basanizō which means to torture; to suffer great pain; to vex with grievous pains (of body or mind); to suffer agony; – which occurs 13 times in the New Testament. Satan and demons know they have been condemned, judged and sentenced to Hell to be tortured and tormented forever. Except the time has not come for them to be sent to Hell. It is equally important to know that the wicked or unbelievers will be tormented in Hell body and soul with the Devil forever.
Luk 4:41,“Demons also came out of many, shouting: You are Christ the Son of God! But rebuking them, He would not allow them to speak, because they knew Him to be the Christ.”
Note: Interestingly, the demons recognized Jesus as the Son of God. The demons acknowledged the authority and power of the Son of God. They were afraid to be tormented before the time. They knew they were condemned to eternal torment. Unbelieving scientists and scholars are inferior to demons because they do not recognize Jesus as the Son of God and they are not afraid of eternal punishment.
3. His disciples confessed that Jesus was truly the Son of God.
Mat 14:33, “Then they that were in the ship came and worshiped Him, saying, Truly You are the Son of God.”
Note: After seeing Jesus walking on the Sea, the disciples were convinced and confessed that Jesus Christ was truly the Son of God. If you do not believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, you cannot be a Christian. Jesus is the True God worthy of our worship. Christians worship only God, not any man or angel.
4. Simon Peter declared that Jesus was Christ, the Son of the living God.
Mat 16:16, “And Simon Peter answered and said: You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
This is not just a head knowledge, but a heart conviction and personal experience that drive home the knowledge of the Son of God. This knowledge is a revelation of God. No one can use scientific means to discover God.
5. The Centurion said Jesus was truly the Son of God.
Mat 27:54, “Now when the centurion, and those who were with Him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.”
Note: A personal knowledge, what the centurion had heard and seen, personal watching, convinced him that Jesus was truly the Son of God.
6. The angel proclaimed to Mary the birth of the Son of God.
Luk 1:35, “And the angel answered and said to her: The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you; therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God.”
Note: The power of God is the power of the Holy Spirit. Mary conceived of Jesus by the power of the Highest. In human terms it is impossible for a virgin to conceive without a man’s sperm.
7. Jesus admitted He was the Son of God.
Luk 22:70 , “Then they all said: Are You then the Son of God? And He said to them: You say that I AM .”
Jhn 10:36, “Do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world: You are blaspheming, because I said, I AM the Son of God?”
Jhn 19:7, “The Jews answered him: We have a law, and by our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.”
Note: No one else ever claimed to be the Son of God. False prophets and anti-Christs may claim to be the Son of God but they are not. A born again believer becomes a son of God. Only Jesus Christ is the only Son of God.
8. The Son of God reveals the Father.
Jhn 1:18 , “No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has revealed Him.”
Note: No prophet or teach can reveal God the Father. Reveal in Greek is exēgeomai which means to draw out in narrative, unfold a teaching, interpret, explain, declare; – it occurs 6 times in the New Testament. No prophet, not even angel can reveal God. Only Jesus Christ, the Son of God, reveals, unfolds or explains the Father. To know Jesus is to know God. To know the Son is to know the Father. It is impossible to know the Father without knowing the Son because only the Son reveals or discloses the Father.
9. John the Baptist testified for the Son of God.
Jhn 1:34,“I myself have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
Note: What John the Baptist had seen?
Jhn 1:32 -33, “John testified saying: I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him. I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me: He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.”
Note: Recognize in Greek is oida which means to know of anything, have knowledge of, understand as a fact, perceive what is true; it occurs 301 times in NASB (New American Standard Bible). No one, not even a prophet or an apostle had the Holy Spirit descended and remained on him. John the Baptist was a fearless great prophet who dared to rebuke the king for his sin. He was a true man of integrity and courage. The testimony of John the Baptist is of great value.
10. Nathaniel acknowledged the Son of God.
Jhn 1:49 , “Nathaniel answered and said to Him (Christ): Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel.”
Note: How did Nathaniel come to know Jesus Christ as the Son of God?
Jhn 1:47-48 , “Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to Him, and said of him: Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit! Nathaniel said to Him: How do You know me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
Note: Jesus Christ knew believers even before they were born.
11. No condemnation for those who believe in the Son of God.
Jhn 3:18,“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
Note: Condemn in Greek is krinō which means to judge as wrong, pronounce judgment, pass judgment, give judicial decision, hold guilty; – it occurs 114 times in the New Testament. He who believes in Jesus Christ is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already.
12. The disciples were sure and believed in the Son of God.
Jhn 6:69, “And we believe and are sure that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Note: To be sure in Greek is ginōskō which means to learn to know, come to know, get a knowledge of, perceive, feel, to have knowledge grounded on personal experience; – it occurs 223 times in the New Testament. In America there is a saying: Two things are sure, death and taxes. Well, the rich don’t pay taxes as some rich people say. It is sure all will die sooner or later. You cannot be sure of anything in the world. After experiencing and seeing so many miracles performed by Jesus Christ in the power of God, the disciples were sure and believed in the Son of God. Even the doubting Thomas in front of the convincing evidence had to confess to Jesus as his God and his Lord. There is one thing for sure: Jesus Christ is the Son of God because He rose from the dead by the power of God.
13. Martha believed in the Son of God.
Jhn 11:27,“She said to Him (Christ): Yes, Lord. I believe You are the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world.”
Note: To believe Jesus is the Christ means to believe Jesus is the One anointed and sent by God to be the Messiah, the Savior of mankind. Jesus is the Son of God because God became Man in the person of Jesus Christ who came into the world to save sinners.
14. The Gospel of John was written so that you believe in the Son of God.
Jhn 20:31, “But these are written, that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you might have life through His name.”
Note: The central message of the Bible is Jesus Christ. The Gospel of John is so important because it is written that you might believe Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God; and that believing in Christ you might have life through His name. What life? Eternal life. There is no other Name under Heaven whereby we might be saved.
15. The eunuch of Ethiopia believed in the Son of God.
Act 8:37, “And Philip said: If you believe with all your heart, you may. And he answered and said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”
Note: It is not enough to know with your head, you must believe with all your heart. The problem of mankind lies not in his head but in his heart.
16. Converted Saul preached Christ as the Son of God.
Act 9:20, “And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.”
Seeing the light and hearing the voice of Jesus Christ, Saul was converted to Paul, an enemy of Christ became a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ.
17. Christ was declared the Son of God by the resurrection from the dead.
Rom 1:4, “And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.”
Note: Declare in Greek is horizōwhich means to define, mark out, ordain, determine, decree, appoint; – it occurs 8 times in the New Testament. Although Jesus was the Son of God before His resurrection, yet He was openly appointed such among men by this exalting, glorifying and crowning event. Just like the coronation of a king proclaims his kingship. The resurrection of Jesus Christ defines and declares Jesus Christ to be the Son of God with convincing proof. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the prime evidence that He is the Son of God. Christianity has two mighty symbols: the Cross which stands for the love of God; and the Empty Tomb which declares the power of God. The Lord of Life conquered death.
18. We were reconciled to God by the death of His Son.
Rom 5:10, “For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son; much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.”
Note: Jesus did not die the death or a martyr or the death of a victim. Jesus died for the sins of the world in order to reconcile sinners to God. By the vicarious death of Jesus Christ believers were reconciled to God, and have peace with God. Jesus died for sinners so that all believe in Him do not need to die the eternal death in Hell.
Jhn 10:10-11, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. I AM the Good Shepherd; the Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.”
Note: The word come in Greek is erchomai which means to come from one place to another, to appear, make one’s appearance, come before the public: – it occurs 635 times in the New Testament. The word is used to denote the Lord Jesus who came into the world as the Divine Logos among men, God became Man and manifested in human form.
Come in Chinese is 來 which has an etymological meaning as follows:
十字架 十 （cross）， 人 （man）。
Jesus was crucified on the cross, there was a little man (thief) on the left and a little man on the right (robber). In the center there was a big Man (Jesus).
Jesus Christ was crucified and died on the cross for sinners, this was an invitation of God to man:
Isa 1:18 ,“Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the LORD, “Though your sins are as scarlet,
They will be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They will be like wool.”
Mat 18:11 ,“For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.”
Man is lost from God and lost in sin.
Mat 11:28 , “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.”
Sins in the world make life weary and heavy-laden, but Jesus can give you rest which the world has not known. Jesus Christ gives you a personal invitation. Come to Me.
Jhn 6:37-38, “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.”
Do not listen to the false teacher John Calvin. Listen to Jesus who says, “the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.” If you come to Jesus Christ for salvation, He will never kick you out.
19. The Son of God was preached by the Apostles.
2 Cr 1:19 ,“For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yes and no, but is yes in Him.”
Note: Jesus Christ is the Son of God is all yes and no no. The apostles did not preach Jesus as the healer although Jesus was the greatest healer who healed all who came to Him. The apostles did not preach Jesus as the teacher although Jesus is the Teacher sent from God. The apostles did not preach Jesus as the miracles maker although Jesus performed miracles and wonders unmatched by anyone because He raised Lazarus who was dead four days. The Apostles preached Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Savior of the world. The most important message preached by the Apostles is the Son of God, Jesus Christ. The Apostles and the early disciples believed in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, from the beginning. The Apostles rank first in the Church, higher than Mary, and pope is a fraud invented by the Catholic Church. The only Apostolic succession is the Faith that the Apostles once believed passed it on to all future generations.
20. Paul lived by faith in the Son of God.
Gal 2:20, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
Note: The life of Paul was a powerful witness how an enemy of Christ became a slave of Christ willingly. The Apostles demonstrated their faith in Jesus Christ by their lives and deaths.
21. The knowledge of the Son of God is the basis of the unity of the Christian faith.
Eph 4:13,“Until we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”
Note: Christianity is faith in Jesus Christ, the Faith in Christ is the basis of the unity of all Christians of all generations. Unity in Greek is henotēswhich means unanimity, harmony, agreement, accord, oneness; – it occurs only twice in the New Testament. The body of Christ which is the Church is one. There is a distinction between the Church and a church. The Church refers to the spiritual and invisible body of Christ. A church refers to a local church and there are many local churches. There are no national churches; the Church of Jesus Christ is heavenly, not earthly, no represented by any nation. There is a movement called ecumenical trying to unite Christians into one organized body. The unity of faith is based on the Word of God in the person of Jesus Christ. There are many humanly organized churches commonly known as denominations. Denominations divide the Church which is not good and un-scriptural. The church of Christ is not united in organization, it is united in faith. The unity of the faith in Christ is the true unity of all Christians from all ages and generations without distinction of class, race, color, nationality, age and gender. The unity of faith is based on the Word of God led by the Holy Spirit. Learned believers can be united in the faith with even uneducated or illiterate believers of primitive societies. I can never be united with theologians, professors, or scholars and preachers who deny Jesus Christ is the Son of God. True believers cannot be united with unbelievers. The sons of God have no fellowship with the children of devil. There is no organic unity of all believers, there is unity of the Faith in Christ Jesus for all believers of all generations. Even the Jewish and Gentile Christians will become one under one Flock, under the Great Shepherd. Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, not the pope or anyone.
22. The Son of God is our great High Priest.
Hbr 4:14, “Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, who has passed into the Heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.”
Note: Jesus Christ is our great High Priest who intercedes for us before God. The Son of God is able to save those who come to Him to the end.
23. The Son of God was manifested to destroy the works of the devil.
1 Jo 3:8 , “He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God appeared that He might destroy the works of the devil.”
Note: Destroy in Greek is lyō which means to dissolve; to break up; to break down; to dismiss; to put off; to annul; to do away; to overthrow; to demolish; to ruin; to put out of existence; – which occurs 45 times in the New Testament. Jesus Christ came to destroy the works of the devil in order to save sinners. It was not Adam who first sinned. The devil sins from the beginning. So evil comes from the devil. Imperialists, terrorists, militarists, capitalists, warmongers, dictators, oppressors, false preachers, etc. are doing the works of the devil. The Son of God appeared on earth that He might destroy the works of the devil. Jesus Christ died for sinners and rose from the dead for our justification and thus destroying the works of the devil so that all who believe in Christ might be saved and receive eternal life. Warmongers, supremacists, imperialists, terrorists, capitalists, monopolists, liars and killers are doing the works of the devil.
The days are coming when the devil and his agents and all the wicked and unbelievers will be sent to the Lake for Fire for eternal punishment. Jesus Christ will be the King of kings and the Lord of lords and reign with the saints for ever and ever in the Kingdom of Heaven. There will be no more evil, no more death and disease, no more sorrows and tears. There will be only joy, peace, love, truth, and righteousness without end.
24. God sent His Son into the world manifested the love of God toward us.
1 Jo 4:9, “By this the love of God was manifested toward us, because God sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.”
Note: God’s love toward unworthy sinners is a great mystery. The love of God toward us was manifested by the death of Jesus Christ, the Righteous for the unrighteous, on the cross.
25. God dwells in whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God.
1 Jo 4:15 , “Whosoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him, and he in God.”
Note: By accepting and believing in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit enters into your heart and lives with you to guide and help you and gives you the eternal life. God dwells in His children through the Holy Spirit. This is the proof whether you are saved or not. If you have the Spirit of Christ in you, you belong to Christ and the Spirit of Christ testifies with your spirit that you are a child of God. If you do not have the Spirit of Christ in you, you are not saved no matter if you have been baptized, received the Lord’s Supper, made offerings, a member of a local church, etc.
26. He who believes that Jesus is the Son of God overcomes the world.
1 Jo 5:5 , “Who is he that overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?”
Note: Overcome in Greek is nikaō which means to conquer; to prevail; to get the victory; to subdue; to win victory over the foe; to come off victorious; – which occurs 28 times in the New Testament. Jesus Christ came to destroy the works of the devil so that His followers can overcome the world. Christians have three enemies: self, Satan, and the world. Christians are the ultimate winners, the followers of the devil and his agents are final losers. There is a religion that denies Jesus is the Son of God, and so it is diabolical and damned. Christians receive power from on high to overcome the world.
27. God has testified of His Son Jesus.
1 Jo 5:9-10 , “If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God which He has testified of His Son. He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. He who does not believe has made God a liar; because he does not believe the testimony that God gave of His Son.”
Note: Whoever does not believe in Jesus the Son of God has made God a liar. God is true, every man a liar. The testimony of God about Jesus Christ His Son is true and eternal.
28. He who believes in the Son of God has life.
1 Jo 5:12-13, “He who has the Son has life; and he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.”
Note: Eternal life is a gift of God to all who repent and believe in the Son of God as their Lord and Savior. To receive Jesus Christ is to receive life.
29. Through the Son of God we know the true God.
1 Jo 5:20 , “And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.”
Note: The knowledge of God is not achieved by human effort or scientific means. Jesus Christ reveals God. When Christ speaks, God speaks. Jesus Christ gives an understanding so that believers may know God who is true, and to know that Christ in God who is true. To know the true God is eternal life.
Without the Son of God no one can know the true God. To know Jesus Christ is to know God.
Now you have learned in truth Jesus Christ is the Son of God. The only Savior in the world.
Would you come and accept Jesus Christ, the Son of God, as your Lord and Savior?
You can do it now wherever you are.
