What is His Only Son About?
From the opening pages of Genesis to the final promises of Revelation, the Bible reveals God's purpose of redemption through Jesus Christ. He is not merely a teacher, prophet or historical figure. Scripture declares Him to be the eternal Word, the Son of God, the promised Messiah, the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world, and the King of kings.
HIS ONLY SON exists to make Jesus Christ known through the testimony of Scripture, careful biblical study, original-language research, historical evidence and the personal witness of lives transformed by His saving grace.
Whether you are seeking answers, beginning your journey of faith or studying the Scriptures more deeply, we invite you to discover the One at the centre of God's redemptive purpose.
The Word:
In the Beginning Was the Word
Before Bethlehem. Before Abraham. Before creation.
Jesus Christ did not begin to exist when He was born in Bethlehem. The Gospel of John declares that the Word was with God in the beginning, that the Word was God, and that all things were made through Him.
The identity of Jesus Christ reaches beyond His earthly ministry into eternity itself. Understanding who He is begins with what Scripture reveals about His divine nature, His relationship with the Father and His role in creation. The incarnation reveals the eternal Son entering human history without ceasing to be God. In Jesus Christ, the invisible God has made Himself known.
Scriptures: John 1:1-3 | John 1:14 | John 17:5 | Colossians 2:9 | Hebrews 1:1-3
Original language study: λόγος (logos, G3056) - word, expression, reason. In John 1, the term is used as a personal designation for the pre-existent Christ, not merely an impersonal principle.
The Messiah:
Promised from the Beginning
God's promise of redemption unfolds throughout Scripture, starting in The Old Testament.
Following the fall of humanity, Scripture introduces the promise concerning the seed of the woman and the defeat of the serpent. Through the generations, God's redemptive purpose becomes increasingly clear in the covenants, prophecies, promises and patterns recorded throughout the Old Testament.
From God's covenant with Abraham to His promise of an enduring royal house through David, the Scriptures establish the expectation of a coming deliverer. Isaiah describes the suffering servant, Micah speaks of the ruler associated with Bethlehem, and Daniel reveals one like the Son of man receiving everlasting dominion.
The New Testament identifies Jesus Christ as the fulfilment of God's redemptive promises. Some passages are direct Messianic prophecies; others establish historical patterns and theological foundations whose significance becomes clearer through the teaching of Christ and His apostles.
Scriptures: Genesis 3:15 | Genesis 12:3 | 2 Samuel 7:12-16 | Luke 24:44-47
Original-language study: מָשִׁיחַ (mashiach, H4899) - anointed one, the Hebrew term underlying the title Messiah.
The Saviour:
The Lamb of God
His sacrifice. Our redemption.
Jesus Christ entered the world not simply to teach humanity how to live, but to accomplish the work of redemption. His sinless life, willing sacrifice and death upon the cross stand at the centre of the Christian gospel.
The Scriptures declare that humanity is separated from God by sin, and that salvation cannot be earned through personal goodness or religious observance. Christ gave Himself for sinners, bearing the judgement sin deserves and opening the way for reconciliation with God.
John the Baptist identified Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. The New Testament connects His sacrifice with the Passover, the sacrificial system and the promises of redemption.
Scriptures: John 1:29 | Isaiah 53:4-7 | Romans 5:6-11 | 1 Peter 1:18-19 | 1 Corinthians 5:7
Original-language study: ἀμνός (amnos, G286) - lamb. John 1:29 applies this term to Jesus in connection with His saving work.
The Risen Lord:
He Is Risen
Death could not hold Him.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not a symbolic addition to the Christian faith. It is central to the testimony of the apostles and the hope of every believer. The Gospels record the empty tomb and appearances of the risen Christ. Jesus appeared to His disciples, spoke with them and demonstrated that He had risen bodily from the dead.
The apostle Paul identifies the resurrection as essential to the gospel. Without it, Christian faith would be empty and the promise of salvation without foundation. Jesus Christ is alive, exalted at the right hand of the Father, and continues His ministry as the great High Priest and Advocate of His people.
Scriptures: Luke 24:5-7 | John 20:24-29 | 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 | 1 Corinthians 15:12-20 | Hebrews 7:25
Original-language study: ἀνάστασις (anastasis, G386) - resurrection or rising from the dead.
The Coming King:
Behold, He Cometh
The story does not end at the empty tomb.
Jesus Christ promised that He would come again. The New Testament presents His return as a source of hope for believers, a call to watchfulness and a solemn warning to a world that must give account before God. The same Jesus who ascended into heaven will return. Scripture declares that His reign will be established, His enemies overcome and God's eternal purpose fulfilled.
His promised return should not encourage date-setting or speculation. It calls His followers to holiness, faithfulness and readiness.
Scriptures: John 14:1-3 | Acts 1:9-11 | Titus 2:13 | Revelation 19:11-16 | Revelation 22:20
Original-language study: παρουσία (parousia, G3952) - presence or coming, used in several passages concerning Christ's return.

Scriptures: Luke 24:5-7 | John 20:24-29 | 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 | 1 Corinthians 15:12-20 | Hebrews 7:25
Original-language study: ἀνάστασις (anastasis, G386) - resurrection or rising from the dead.
The Invitation:
What Will You Do with Jesus?
The most important question is not merely who Jesus was, but who He is to you.
The most important question is not simply whether Jesus Christ existed or whether His teachings influenced the world. It is whether you know Him as your Lord and Saviour.
The gospel calls every person to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God are offered through Him. You are invited to examine the Scriptures, understand the gospel and respond to the One who said:
"I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." - John 14:6, KJV
Scriptures: John 14:6 | Acts 4:12 | Romans 10:9-13
