Why is Jesus called God’s
Son?
God does not have a
literal wife with whom he fathered children. He is the Creator of all life.
Humans were created with the capacity to imitate God’s qualities. That is why
the first human that God created, Adam, is called a “son of God.” Similarly,
Jesus is called “the Son of God” because he was created with qualities like
those of his Father.—Read Luke 3:38; John 1:14, 49.
When was Jesus created?
God created Jesus before
creating Adam. In fact, God created Jesus and then used him to make everything
else, including the angels. That is why the Bible calls Jesus “the firstborn of
all creation” by God.—Read Colossians 1:15,
16.
Before he was born in
Bethlehem, Jesus lived as a spirit creature in heaven. When the time came, God
transferred Jesus’ life from heaven to Mary’s womb so that he could be born as
a human.—Read Luke 1:30-32; John 6:38; 8:23.
Why did God have Jesus
born on earth as a human? What special role did Jesus fulfill? You can find the
answers to those questions in the Bible, and they will greatly enhance your
understanding and appreciation of what God and Jesus have done for you.
