The Greatness of God's Son
Hebrews 1:4-14
The Son was made greater than the angels, just as the name that God gave him is greater than theirs. For God never said to any of his angels,
"You are my Son;
today I have become your Father."
Nor did God say about any angel,
"I will be his Father,
and he will be my Son"
But when God was about to send his first-born Son into the world he said.
"All God's angels must worship him."
But about the angels God said,
"God makes his angels winds,
and his servants flames of fire,"
About the Son, however God said:
"Your kingsom, O God, will last for ever and ever!
You rule over your people with justice.
You love what is right and hate what is wrong.
That is why God, your God has chosen you
and has given you the joy of an
honour far greater
than he gave to your companions."
He also said,
"You, Lord, in the beginning created
the earth,
and with your hands you made the heavens.
They will disappear, but you will
remain;
they will all wear out like clothes.
You will fold them up like a coat,
and they will be changed liked clothes.
But you are always the same,
and your life never ends,"
God never said to any of his angels:
"Sit here on my right
until I put your enemies
as a footstool under your feet."
What are the angles then? They are spirits who serve God and are sent by him to help those who are to receive salvation.
1 John 3:15-16
If anyone declares that Jesus is the Son of God, he lives in union with God and God lives in union with him.
1 John 3:5
Who can defeat the world? Only the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
