Christ is known as the Son of God through His divine nature, unique role as the Builder of God's house, and the testimony of Scripture.
The affirmation of Christ as the Son of God is central to Christian theology, as articulated in Hebrews 3:4-6. Scripture reveals that Christ is not only appointed over God's house but is also inherently divine, being the Creator and sustainer of all things. The passage emphasizes that the Builder of the house is God, which directly attributes divine status to Christ. His miraculous works, fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, and the acknowledgment of His unique sonship during His ministry further substantiate this truth. Thus, the full testimony of Scripture combined with Christ's active role in salvation and His relationship with the Father serves to affirm His divine sonship.
