Son of God

Son of God Excerpt John’s testimony was  that this is the Son of God.  The prophesied Davidic King was God’s Son ( 2 Sam.  7:13 ), and the messianic King is uniquely the Son of God ( Ps.  2:7 ). The title “Son of God” goes beyond the idea of obedience and messianic King to that of Jesus’ essential nature. In the Fourth Gospel, this title is not applied to believers.

It is from John’s inspired pen that we read from the outset, “In the beginning was the Word , and the Word was with God , and the Word was God .” This is a rather flat rendering. The Greek conveys something more picturesque: “In the beginning was the Word , and the Word was face to face with God , and the Word was himself God .” Imagine, the Word , who was the preincarnate Son of God , was face to face with God .
