Jesus is affirmed as the Son of God in Scripture, notably in Acts 9:20 where Paul preaches this central truth following his conversion.
The identity of Jesus as the Son of God is a crucial aspect of Christian theology and is affirmed throughout the New Testament. After his conversion, the Apostle Paul immediately preached that Jesus is the Son of God (Acts 9:20), demonstrating that this truth is foundational to the Christian faith. This doctrine is reinforced in John’s epistles, where the essential nature of Christ’s sonship is clearly articulated. The acknowledgment of Jesus as the eternal Son of God is central to understanding His role in redemption and the nature of God’s love for humanity. As believers reflect on this truth, they recognize that Jesus' identity as the Son is rooted in divine revelation and is essential for salvation.
