Was Jesus always Gods Son?

angels4u · December 31, 2003

Who was Jesus when He was not born yet?

I know He always was part of the Trinity, even before the earth was created.

Was He Gods Son even before the creation?

Thanks, ( question from my 17 year old daughter)

God Bless,Angels

Who was Jesus when He was not born yet?
I know He always was part of the Trinity, even before the earth was created.
Was He Gods Son even before the creation?

Greetings Angels,

Here is a verse for you:

Proverbs 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

Blessings,

Dad Ernie

Jesus Christ is also known as the "Word"!

John1:1,2

In the beginning was the WORD. and the WORD was with God, and the WORD WAS GOD. He was in the beginning WITH GOD.

John1:14

And the WORD BECAME FLESH and dwelt among us. and we beheld His Glory, the Glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of Grace and Truth.

1John5:7

For there are three that bear witness in Heaven: The Father, The WORD, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.

John 10:30

I and my Father are ONE

Jesus Christ Is part of the Trinity who has No beginning and No end! That's why other religions who "claim to know God", do not in fact know Him because they Deny Jesus Christ as God! From what I understand Christ is One with God!

Angels I believe that John one is the best chapter to give to your daughter.

Jesus was (and is) the Word mentioned in John 1.

All praise The Ancient of Days

In addition to the verses given above, I'd like to offer a few more, with emphasis on the phrase "only Begotten.":

John 1:14: And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us (and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only Begotten from the Father), full of grace and reality.

John 1:18: No one has ever seen God; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him

John 3:16: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that every one who believes into Him would not perish, but would have eternal life.

John 3:18: He who believes into Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed into the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Acts 13:33: That God has fully fulfilled this promise to us their children in raising up Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm, "You are My Son; this day have I begotten You.''

1 John 4:9: In this the love of God was manifested among us, that God sent His only begotten Son into the world that we might have life and live through Him.

There are two ways of looking at the term "only begotten" above. One way of looking at it, is that Jesus Christ was the Only Begotten Son of God from eternity. The other way of looking at it is that Jesus Christ became the only begotten Son at the moment of His incarnation (birth). The Greek word Monogenes indicates two things. First, it indicates a definite time of creation. Birth is a kind of creation. But also, the word indicates a time of appearing. Like an actor will appear on a stage when the curtain is pulled up. I believe that there are two distinct ussages of the phrase "only begotten" in the Bible: One being used as a title, and the other being used as means of indicating the Lord's incarnation as a human being.

In John 1:14, 18; 3:16, and 1 John 4:9 it the phrase is used as a title, indicating Christ's status as the Only Begotten Son of God from eternity. This may be said to be Christ's divine title of Sonship. In these verses the Bible tells us that God sent His Only Begotten to be born of the virgin Mary, and to die for the sins of the world. Clearly these verses tell us that Jesus Christ was always God's Only Begotten Son. He was in the bosom (by the side of, even in the side) of the Father, before His incarnation and even as a man walking the earth.

John 3:18 and Acts 13:33 declare the Lord Jesus' status as the firstborn son of God through incarnation. Actually, if you examine the Bible closely, you will see that Jesus Christ had two "begettings": First, Jesus Christ was incarnated as a man. This is the first begetting. The Lord Jesus, the eternal One, was begotten in the womb of the virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit (Matt. 1:20). Second, Jesus' resurrection from the dead was typified by birth. In His resurrected state Jesus is given the title "Firstborn" (Firstborn from among the dead, Firstborn of creation, etc. - see Rom8:29; Col. 1:15, 18; Heb. 1:6; Rev. 1:5).

When we read the Bible concerning Jesus Christ, we always see two things: We see His divinity and His humanity. The Bible declares that the Lord Jesus was 100% God, and yet also 100% man. The titles of Christ declare these two wonderful facts. For example, Romans 1:3-4 we read that Jesus Christ is the seed of David according to the flesh, and He is also the Son of God according to the Spirit of power. On the one hand Jesus Christ was the firstborn son of Mary (Luke 2:7) and on the other hand He is the Firstborn among many brothers (Rom. 8:29) through resurrection. (Regeneration is nothing less than being begotten of God
