Who is the Bible's true and only begotten Son of God? This study examines the biblical meaning of "begotten," the Greek language, and key passages of Scripture to discover what the Bible really teaches about the identity of Jesus Christ.
Who Is the True and Only Begotten Son of God?
His name is Yeshua—known in English as Jesus Christ.
God sent His only begotten Son into the world to save the human race (John 3:16; 1 John 5:5; John 20:31; Matthew 1:21).
Yeshua was not a pre-existent angel or spirit being. He was the second and last perfect Adam, miraculously begotten by God in the womb of the virgin Mary and born as the Messiah, Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:23; John 16:28; Matthew 1:18–2:1; Isaiah 7:10–16; Micah 5:1–6; Luke 2:1–7).
He was no ordinary man, for He is the only begotten Son of the One True God (John 10:36; John 20:31; Matthew 3:17; Mark 9:7; Luke 3:22).
Yeshua is the only person through whom we can come to His God and Father. He declared, "I am the way" (John 14:6). He is the door to salvation (John 10:9), and "there is salvation in no one else" (Acts 4:12). Our faith in God comes through Him (John 14:1).
Yeshua is God's chosen Messiah, the one Mediator and Advocate between God and mankind (1 Timothy 2:5). He was sent by a loving, compassionate Father who desires to save His creation.
Jesus had to be a genuine human being. As a man, He could fully understand and sympathize with our weaknesses (Hebrews 4:15). He also had to be the second and last Adam, succeeding where the first Adam failed (1 Corinthians 15:45).
Yeshua came into the world to reveal His God and Father—the One True God and only Creator. He taught us how to love God and one another, and by giving His life on the cross He paid the price for our sins, reversing the curse of death and opening the way to eternal life for all who believe, repent, and follow Him (John 3:16).
Yeshua is not the One True God.
A copy can be virtually identical to the original, yet it is never the original itself.
Likewise, Yeshua is the perfect human image of His Father. This helps us understand His words:
"He who has seen Me has seen the Father." (John 14:9)
Just as a perfect image is not the person it represents, Yeshua is not the same being as the One True God who begot Him.
Do You Know the True Yeshua?
Almost everyone has heard the name Jesus.
Yet sadly, many have never come to know the true Messiah revealed in Scripture. The Bible contains more prophecies concerning His coming than almost any other individual in history, revealing Him as the promised Savior and Prince of Peace.
If we believe His words and sincerely seek Him, we will find Him.
Yeshua, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, will return to establish God's Kingdom and restore creation according to God's purpose.
Look around the world. The signs remind us that time is moving quickly.
Jesus said:
"Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you." (Matthew 7:7)
Those who seek with humble hearts will discover the priceless treasure—the true Jesus Christ—who leads us to the One True God and the hope of everlasting life.
As Scripture declares:
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation..." (Colossians 1:15)
And again:
"He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature..." (Hebrews 1:3)

What did John mean when he wrote, "The Word became flesh"? This study examines the original Greek text, the Old Testament background, and the biblical context to explain the meaning of the Word, the glory, and the only begotten Son.
