What is the meaning of being a son of God?

Answered in 1 source

Being a son of God refers to being adopted into God's family through faith in Christ, contrasting with the unique position of the only begotten Son.

The Bible describes believers as sons and daughters of God through faith in Jesus Christ, as seen in John 1:12, which states that to those who receive Him, He gives the right to become children of God. This term 'sons' signifies a relationship that is based on grace and adoption rather than natural birth. However, it is essential to understand that while believers are referred to as sons of God, they do not equate to the only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. The latter has a unique role in redemption; He is God the Son, while believers participate in this sonship through Christ. This distinction emphasizes the grace of our relationship with God while exalting the sole majesty of Jesus as the one true Son.
