Christ's divine sonship is confirmed through Scripture, affirming His eternal generation from the Father and His role in the Trinity.
The affirmation that Christ is the Son of God is central to Christian theology. This is expressed in various passages, such as John 1:14, where Jesus is referred to as the only begotten of the Father, and in John 16:28, where He declares that He came forth from the Father. The doctrine of Christ's eternal generation asserts His unique relationship with the Father, emphasizing His divine nature and equality with God as articulated in the Nicene Creed. Furthermore, His fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah serves as a testament to His identity as the Son of God, revealing that through the covenant of redemption, He was ordained to come into the world to redeem His people.
