Who Christ is – The Only Begotten and the Firstborn Son of God

Christ-as-the-only-begotten-and-as-the-Firstborn-Son-of-GodThis week we continued with two more aspects of who Christ is. The Bible Study was interactive and enjoyable.  We read verses and worked on diagrams that show these two aspects.

As the only begotten Son of God, Christ gives us the zoe life, the eternal, uncreated life of God.

John 3:16 says, For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone who believes into Him would not perish, but would have eternal life.

In His resurrection, Christ became the Firstborn Son of God. His resurrection was a birth for Him–and actually, for us too!

Acts 13:33 says, That God has fully fulfilled this promise to us their children in raising up Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm, “You are My Son; this day have I begotten You.”

Romans 8:29 says, Because those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brothers;

Being the Firstborn implies that there are many more. Those of us who believe into Jesus Christ receive His divine life and become the many brothers of Christ! Hallelujah!
