Jesus as the Son of God

When an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream, he delivered a message that would alter the course of history: 'She [Mary] will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins' (Matthew 1:21). This proclamation not only announced the coming of a savior but also affirmed Jesus' unique relationship with God the Father. The title 'Son of God' is frequently used in the Gospels, resonating with profound implications for Jesus' identity and purpose. At His baptism, the heavens opened, and God's voice declared, 'This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased' (Matthew 3:17), further solidifying Jesus' divine sonship. Early Christian creeds and the doctrine of the Trinity have since woven this concept into the fabric of Christian theology, portraying Jesus as fully divine yet distinct in person from God the Father and the Holy Spirit.
