Section was long enough to merit its own article. --> In [[Christianity]], the title "Son of God" refers to the status of [[Jesus]] as the divine son of [[God the Father]].<ref>J. Gordon Melton, Martin Baumann, ''Religions of the World: A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Beliefs and Practices'', ABC-CLIO, USA, 2010, p. 634-635</ref><ref>Schubert M. Ogden, ''The Understanding of Christian Faith'', Wipf and Stock Publishers, USA, 2010, p. 74</ref> It derives from several uses in the New Testament and [[early Christian]] [[Christian theology|theology]]. The term is used in all four [[gospel|gospels]], the [[Acts of the Apostles]], and the [[Pauline epistles|Pauline]] and [[Johannine literature|Johannine]] literature. Another interpretation stems from the Judaic understanding of the title, which describes all human beings as being Sons of God. In parts of the Old Testament, historical figures like Jacob and Solomon are referred to as Sons of God, referring to their descent from [[Adam]]. Biblical scholars use this title as a way of affirming Jesus' humanity, that he is fully human but, also sent from his father who is God almighty alone as mentioned in John 3:16.
