Filho de Deus
Jesus é o Filho de Deus — a revelação suprema do Pai. Nele habita toda a plenitude da divindade e por Ele temos acesso ao Pai, à salvação e à vida eterna.
A revelação do Filho
O Filho é o resplendor da glória de Deus. Quem vê o Filho vê o Pai. Jesus é a imagem perfeita do Deus invisível.
So the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we observed His glory, glory of an Only-begotten, from the Father, full of grace and truth.
No one has ever seen God. The Only-begotten Son,"—this alternative has appealed to many evangelicals who see in it a strong affirmation of the deity of Christ. But if the God-part of the Christ was begotten in the womb of the virgin Mary, then He is not eternally preexistent; and in that event Christ could not be God the Son, one of the three persons of the Trinity. Notice the precision in Isaiah 9:6—"unto us a child is born; unto us a son is given." Jehovah the Son was given, not born. Notice further that the context is about the Incarnation, not the Son’s eternal preexistence. But in any case, why follow seven manuscripts of demonstrably inferior quality against 1,700 better ones? The original and therefore true reading is certainly "the only begotten Son". who exists in the bosom of the Father, He has interpreted Him. shows us who the Father really is. As Jesus said to Philip, "He who has seen me has seen the Father" (John 14:9).
But Jesus answered them, "Until now, my Father works, I also work." So because of this they wanted to kill Him all the more, because He was not only breaking the Sabbath but was even saying that God was His own Father, making Himself equal with God!
Confissão e fé
Tu és o Cristo, o Filho do Deus vivo! Quem confessa que Jesus é o Filho de Deus, Deus permanece nele.
When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi He questioned His disciples saying, "Who do people say that I, the Son of the Man, am?" So they said, "Some say John the Baptizer, others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." He says to them, "But you, who do you say that I am?" So in answer Simon Peter said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God!"
And having been baptized Jesus came up directly from the water, when wow, the heavens were opened to Him, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down like a dove and alighting upon Him. And wow, a Voice from the heavens saying, "This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I am always well pleased!"
Vida no Filho
Deus enviou seu Filho ao mundo para que vivêssemos por Ele. O Filho dá vida, julga e reconcilia os pecadores com o Pai.
Because God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes into Him should not be wasted, but should have eternal life.
Now just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, just so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes. In fact the Father does not judge anyone but has committed all the judging to the Son, so that all will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
"Most assuredly I say to you that a time is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of the God, and those who listen will live. Because just as the Father has life in Himself, just so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself;
But, as many as did receive Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, one by receiving Christ. Presumably ‘receiving’ is a conscious act. Each of my two children did this when four years old. to those who believe into His name:’ (Greek εν) Jesus or His name; always it reads ‘believe into’ (Greek εις). People believe in Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, the goodness of man, or whatever, but it makes no difference in their lives. Many millions of people say they ‘believe in Jesus’, but it makes no difference in their lives either. You have to believe into Him—commitment and identification are involved, that go along with the change in location, from being outside to being inside. As Jesus Himself said in John 6:53-56, you have to "eat" His flesh and "drink" His blood. If you eat something your body assimilates it, it becomes part of you. who were begotten, not by blood, nor by the desire of the flesh, nor by the will of a man, relationship between them. but by God.
I have been crucified with Christ, so it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me; what I now live in this body I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself in my place.
But at just the right time God sent out His Son, born of a woman, born under law, so that He might redeem those under law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God sent out the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, calling, "Abba, Father".
