From Failing Sons to the Faithful Son: How Jesus Fulfils Biblical Sonship
In the New Testament, Jesus is called the “Son of God”—but why? In this second episode of The True and Better Podcast, we trace the theme of biblical sonship through Adam, Israel, and the Davidic kings, showing how Jesus succeeds where every other “son” failed. We then look at what Jesus’ faithful sonship means for believers’ adoption and identity as the sons and daughters of God.
