The Concept of the Son of God in Paul’s Authentic Letters

Abstract

This article examines the Apostle Paul’s concept of the Son of God, which is attributed to Jesus Christ. In today’s society, when we are looking for a variety of spiritual experiences, it is important to turn to God Himself, who can be found in the person of Jesus Christ. Drawing on the exegesis of Scripture, theological dictionaries and the writings of theological authors, the aim is to introduce the reader to the Apostle Paulʼs concept of Jesus as the Son of God. It is shown that Jesus Christ is not only a man, but a mediator between men and God, a redeemer who has a unique closeness and affinity with God. It is his relationship with God that is kinship, not adoption. With the concept of the Son, Paul refers not only to the pre-existent Redeemer of the world who became man and is the object of his proclamation, but also to the one who completes the work of creation history.
