The Deity of Christ, 3of3

~ 7 Testimonies to Christ Being the Son of God ~

Jesus Proclaimed His Sonship ~ “The high priest answered and said to Him, ‘I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!’ Jesus said to him, ‘It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven’” (Matthew 26:63b-64). 

The Father Affirmed His Sonship ~ “And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased’” (Matthew 3:17).   

The Resurrection Declared His Sonship ~ “Declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead” (Romans 1:4).   

Paul Preached His Sonship ~ “He [Paul] preached the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God” (Acts 9:20). 

Peter Confessed His Sonship ~ “Simon Peter answered and said, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God’” (Matthew 16:16).   

Demons Acknowledged His Sonship ~ “Whenever those possessed by demons caught sight of Him they would fall down before Him shrieking, ‘You are the Son of God!’” (Mark 3:11 TLB).

Disciples Believed His Sonship ~ “Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away…  Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, ‘Truly You are the Son of God’” (Matthew 14:22, 33).   

the key question: “Who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15). This is the most important question you will ever answer. If you do not answer it, or answer it incorrectly, you have made the biggest mistake anyone can make!
