15 He said to them, “And who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered,
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him,
“You are blessed, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal
this to you, but my Father in heaven!” (Matthew 16:15-17)
The angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason
the holy Child shall be called the Son of God (Luke 1:35)
God the Father, the angel Gabriel, His own disciples, the Apostle Paul,
and even the demons acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God. Although
Adam, angels, Israel, peacemakers, and Christians are all called "sons of God"
the Scripture designates Jesus as the unique Son of God. He possesses the
same nature as the Father - God. However He is not a literal offspring for
He has existed for all eternity. The Bible often uses the word "son" in the
sense of "possessing the nature of." Jesus is the "Son" of God in this
sense- possessing the nature of God. The title "Son" does not, in any way,
suggest the Son if inferior to the Father.
