Overview

The theme of divine sonship stretches across the pages of the Bible: from Adam in the Garden of Eden, through the nation of Israel and King David, and ultimately to Jesus Christ in the New Jerusalem—the Son of God par excellence. In this volume from the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series, renowned biblical scholar Graeme Goldsworthy shows what Christ’s fulfillment of the divine sonship motif means for all who are sons and daughters of God.

“Welcome to this study of The Son of God and the New Creation. In the pages that follow we will journey through the whole Bible to see how the theme of ‘Son of God’ develops from Genesis to Revelation and also how Jesus as God’s Son launches the new creation that we all deeply long for—and, by grace, can be part of here and now.” (Page 13)

“We think of new birth as a present reality and new creation as a future one. This separation is, I believe, a mistake. We may distinguish the two events, but we should not separate them. This, I trust, will become clearer as we pursue our study of ‘son of God.’” (Page 18)

“This way of distinguishing the work of Jesus as ‘for us,’ ‘in us,’ and ‘with us’ is simply another way of distinguishing our justification (in the past), our sanctification (in the present), and our glorification (in the future).” (Page 27)

“Indeed, it is clear that Jesus, the apostles, and the early church regarded the Old Testament itself as Christian Scripture.” (Page 23)

“The title ‘Son of God’ clearly indicates a special relationship between Jesus and God the Father.” (Page 19)
