Catechism Class: Lord’s Day 13A Q33 God’s Only Begotten SonRead: John 3:16Lord’s Day 13, Q33, Why is He called God’s “only begotten Son,” since we also are the children of God? A: Because Christ alone is the eternal, natural Son of God, but we are children of God by adoption, through grace, for His sake.How can you explain the eternal Sonship of Christ in a way that a child can understand? Actually the catechist does a fairly good job of that for us, and he does it by contrasting our sonship (for we have already seen that God is our Father) with the Sonship of Christ. He asks how we can say that Jesus is God’s only begotten son, when we too are sons of God. And the answer, of course, lies in the meaning of the word ‘begotten’.Read the NOTES HERE. Hosted on Acast.
