Bible Question:
It says in John 3:16"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Why did god call jesus his Begotten Son and not his born son? |
Bible Answer: Jesus is called “only-begotten Son” because he was the firstborn of all creation-being the sole direct creation by his Father. All other creation was accomplished with and through Jesus. Reference Genesis 1:26; Colossians 1:15-17; Revelations 3:14 |
