What is the significance of the title "Son of God"? It emphasizes the divine nature of Jesus and the fact of His virgin birth. He is the Son of God because He was conceived by the Spirit of God, making God literally His Father (Luke 1:35). When Peter confessed that Jesus was "the Christ, the Son of the living God", he recognized the Messianic role and deity of Jesus (Mathew 16:16). The Jews understood what Jesus meant when He called Himself the Son of God and when He called God His Father, for they tried to kill Him for claiming to be God (John 5:18; 10:33). In short, the title "Son of God" recognizes the humanity while calling attention to the deity of Jesus. It means that God has manifested Himself in the flesh.
We should note that the angels are called sons of God (Job 38:7) because God created them directly. Similarly Adam was the son of God by creation (Luke 3:38). The saints (members of God"s church) are also sons of God or children of God because He has adopted us into that relationship (Romans 8:14-19). We are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, having all the legal rights of sonship. However, Jesus is the Son of God in the sense that no other being is or can be, for Jesus is the only begotten[/i] Son of God (John 3:16). He is the only One ever conceived or begotten by the Spirit of God. Thus, His unique Sonship attests to His deity.

Two key words are "begotten" and "made"(or created). Angels and humans were "made" by God. Jesus (I bow my head at His holy name) was "Begotten" not made.
