Transcript 257C — Why is Jesus Called the "Son of God"?
CALLER: I've heard that Jesus is God, but why do they call Jesus the Son of God, if He is God? I can't understand.
HC: The question that is raised is, Why is Jesus called the Son of God if He is God?
Right now, with that question, we stand at the feet of Eternal God. And we cannot understand God. We have no way of comprehending all that God is He is an infinite Being. We read what the Bible says and accept it by faith, and realize that our finite minds are incapable of comprehending God.
And so while on one hand He repeatedly is spoken of as the Son of God, on the other hand the Bible indicates repeatedly that in every sense He is Eternal God: "In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." And so we simply accept all of this because the Bible says so. This is an extreme and serious situation, where we must walk by faith and not because we know something.
