If human beings and angels can be called, “sons of God,” then, in what sense, if any, is Jesus different?
The answer is that Jesus was the unique “Son of God” in that He possesses the same nature as God. Adam was the “son of God” in the sense that he was created directly by God – he did not have a human father or mother. Angels are the “sons of God” in the sense that they were created by God. Israel was symbolically called God’s son as were the peacemakers. Believers are “sons of God” or “children of God” by faith in Christ. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God (John 1:12). Jesus Has Been God’s Son For All Eternity Jesus, however, has been God the Son for all eternity. The Bible says. No one has ever seen God, but God the one and only, who is at the Father’s side, has made him known (John 1:18). Jesus called Himself the Son of God in a unique sense. A man can only be the son of his Father. Jesus was the “Son of the Highest,” and the “Son of God.” He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God
