20 Bible Verses About The Son of God (KJV)
Long before Bethlehem, the Old Testament declared the Son. Wisdom speaks in Proverbs 8 as one "brought forth" before the hills, daily the Father's delight; Psalm 2 records the decree "Thou art my Son"; Proverbs 30 asks "what is his son's name?"; and Micah names One whose "goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." These twenty verses trace the eternal, begotten Sonship of Christ through the Hebrew Scriptures.
