This is the gospel proclamation formulated by the holy fathers of the Nicene Council in the following way:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8230; and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages: Light of Light. True God of True God. Begotten not made. Of one essence with the Father. Through whom all things were made\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; These lines speak about the <strong>Son of God<\/strong>, also called the <strong>Word<\/strong> or <strong><em>Logos<\/em><\/strong> of God, before his birth in human flesh from the Virgin Mary in Bethlehem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There is but one eternal Son of God. He is called the <strong>Only-begotten<\/strong>, which means the only one born of God the Father. <strong>Begotten<\/strong> as a word simply means born or generated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Son of God is born from the Father \u201cbefore all ages\u201d; that is, before creation, before the commencement of time. Time has its beginning in creation. God exists before time, in an eternally timeless existence without beginning or end. <br \/> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Eternity<\/strong> as a word does not mean endless time. It means the condition of no time at all\u2014no past or future, just a constant present. For God there is no past or future. For God, all is <strong>now<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the eternal \u201cnow\u201d of God, before the creation of the world, God the Father gave birth to his only-begotten Son in what can only be termed an eternal, timeless, always presently-existing generation. This means that although the Son is \u201cbegotten of the Father\u201d and comes forth from the Father, his coming forth is eternal. Thus, there never was a \u201ctime\u201d when there was no Son of God. This is specifically what the heretic Arius taught. It is the doctrine formally condemned by the first ecumenical council.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Although born of the Father and having his origin in Him, the only-begotten Son always existed, or rather more accurately always \u201cexists\u201d as uncreated, eternal and divine. Thus, the Gospel of St. John says:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the beginning was the Word [the Logos-Son], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (Jn 1:1)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As the eternally-born of God and always existing with the Father in the \u201ctimeless generation,\u201d the Son is truly \u201cLight of Light, True God of True God.\u201d For God is Light and what is born of Him must be Light. And God is True God, and what is born of Him must be True God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We know from the created order of things that what is born must be essentially the same as what gives birth. If one comes from the very being of another, one must be the very same thing. He cannot be essentially different. Thus, men give birth to men, and birds to birds, fish to fish, flowers to flowers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If God, then, in the super-abundant fullness and perfection of His divine being gives birth to a Son, the Son must be the same as the Father in all things\u2014except, of course, in the fact of his being the Son.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thus, if the Father is divinely and eternally perfect, true, wise, good, loving, and all of the things that we know God is: \u201cineffable, inconceivable, invisible, ever-existing and eternally the same\u201d (to quote this text of the Liturgy once more), then the Son must be all of these things as well. To think that what is born of God must be less than God, says one saint of the Church, is to dishonor to God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\"><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: left; border: 1px solid; margin: 15px; width: 300px; height: 255px;\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-orig-src=\"http:\/\/www.orthodoxalbania.org\/images\/besorth1\/smallpics\/biri\/Moisiu%20kur%20iu%20shfaq%20Perendia1.jpg\" \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Son is \u201cbegotten not made, of one essence with the Father.\u201d \u201cBegotten not made\u201d may also be put \u201cborn and not created.\u201d Everything which exists besides God is created by Him: all things visible and invisible. But the Son of God is not a creature. He was not created by God or made by Him. He was born, begotten, generated from the very being and nature of the Father. It belongs to the very nature of God-to God as God\u2014according to divine revelation as understood by the Orthodox, that God is an eternal Father by nature, and that He should always have with Him his eternal, uncreated Son.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It belongs to the very nature of God that He should be such a being if He is truly and perfectly divine. It belongs to God\u2019s very divine nature that He should not be eternally alone in his divinity, but that His very being as Love and Goodness should naturally \u201coverflow itself\u201d and \u201creproduce itself\u201d in the generation of a divine Son: the \u201cSon of His Love\u201d as the Apostle Paul has called him (<em>Col 1:13, inaccurately translated in English<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thus, there is an abyss drawn between the created and the uncreated, between God and everything else which God has made out of nothing. The Son of God, born of the Father before all ages, is not created. He was not made out of nothing. He was eternally begotten from the divine being of the Father. He belongs \u201con the side of God.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Having been born and not made, the Son of God is what God is. The expression <strong>of one essence<\/strong> simply means this: what God the Father is, so also\u2014is the Son of God. <strong>Essence<\/strong> is from the Latin word <em>esse<\/em> which means <strong>to be<\/strong>. The essence of a thing answers the question <strong>What is it?<\/strong> What the Father is, the Son is. The Father is divine, the Son is divine. The Father is eternal, the Son is eternal. The Father is uncreated, the Son is uncreated. The Father is God and the Son is God. This is what men confess when they say \u201cthe only-begotten Son of God\u2026 of one essence with the Father.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Being always with the Father, the Son is also one life, one will, one power and one action with Him. Whatever the Father is, the Son is; and so whatever the Father does, the Son does as well. The original act of God outside of His divine existence is the act of creation. The Father is creator of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in the act of creation, as\u2014we confess in the Symbol of Faith, the Son is the one by <strong>whom all things were made<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Son acts in creation as the one who accomplishes the Father\u2019s will. The divine act of creation-and, indeed, every action toward the world in revelation, salvation, and glorification\u2014is willed by the Father and accomplished by the Son (we will speak of the Holy Spirit below) in one identical divine action. Thus, we have the <strong>Genesis<\/strong> account of God creating through His divine word (\u201cGod said\u2026\u201d), and in the Gospel of St. John the following specific revelation:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He [the Word-Son] was in the beginning with God [the Father]; all things were made through [or by] him and without him was not anything made that was made\u201d (Jn 1:2-3).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This is the exact doctrine of the Apostle Paul as well:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8230; in him [the Son] all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers-all things were created through him and for him. He is before an things and in him all things hold together (Col 1:16-17).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thus, the eternal Son of God is confessed as the one \u201cby whom all things were made.\u201d (Heb 1: 2; 2:10; Rom I 1 : 36 )<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Symbol of Faith continues:&#8230; Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became man\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The divine Son of God was born in human flesh for the salvation of the world. This is the central doctrine of the Orthodox Christian Faith; the entire life of Christians is built upon this fact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Symbol of Faith stresses that it is \u201cfor us men and for our salvation\u201d that the Son of God has come. This is the most critical biblical doctrine, that \u201cGod so loved the world that He gave his only-begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life\u201d (<em>Jn 3:16, quoted at each Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom at the center of the eucharistic prayer<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Because of his perfect love, God sent forth his Son into the world. God knew in the very act of creation that to have a world at all would require the incarnation of his Son in human flesh. Incarnation as a word means \u201cenfleshment\u201d in the sense of taking on the wholeness of human nature, body and soul.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as the only-begotten Son of the Father. And from his fullness have we all received grace upon grace\u201d (Jn 1:14-16).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8230; came down from heaven\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The affirmation that the Son has \u201ccome down from heaven and was incarnate\u201d does not mean that the Son is located somewhere \u201cup there\u201d in the universe and then descended onto the planet earth. That He came \u201cdown from heaven\u201d is the Biblical way of saying that the Son of God came from the totally \u201cother\u201d divine existence of God, outside the bounds and limits of all space and time located within the created, physical universe. In general we must remember again the symbolical character of all of our words and affirmations about God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The affirmation that the Son came \u201cdown from heaven\u201d also should not be interpreted in the sense that before the incarnation the Son of God was totally absent from the world. The Son was always \u201cin the world\u201d for the \u201cworld was made through Him\u201d (<em>Jn 1:10<\/em>). He was always present in the world for He is personally the life and the light of man (<em>1 Jn 4<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As \u201ccreated in the image and likeness of God,\u201d every man\u2014just by being a man\u2014is already a reflection of the divine Son, who is Himself the uncreated image of God (<em>Col 1:15 ; Heb 1:3<\/em>). Thus, the Son, or Word, or Image, or Radiance of God, as He is called in Scriptures, was always \u201cin the world\u201d by being always present in every of his \u201ccreated images,\u201d not only as their creator, but also as the one whose very being all creatures are made to share and to reflect. Thus, in his incarnation, the Son comes personally to the world and becomes Himself a man. But even before the incarnation He was always in the world by the presence and power of his creative actions in his creatures, particularly in man.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In addition to this, it is also Orthodox doctrine that the manifestation of God to the saints of the Old Testament, the so-called <strong>theophanies<\/strong> (which means divine <strong>manifestations<\/strong>), were manifestations of the Father, by, through and in his Son or Logos. Thus, for example, the manifestations to Moses, Elias or Isaiah are mediated by God\u2019s divine and uncreated Son.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It is the Orthodox teaching as well that the Word of God which came to the Old Testament prophets and saints, and the very words of the Old Testament Law of Moses, which are called in Hebrew the \u201cwords\u201d and not as we say in English, the \u201ccommandments\u201d, are also revelations of God by his Son, the Divine Word. Thus, for example, we have Old Testamental witness to the revelation of God\u2019s Word, such as that of the Prophet Isaiah, in almost the same personalistic form as is found in the Christian gospel:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #800000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return not thither but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I propose, and prosper in the thing for which I sent it (<em>Isa 55:10-11<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: verdana,geneva; color: #000000;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thus, before His personal birth of the Virgin Mary as the man Jesus, the divine Son and Word of God was in the world by His presence and action in creation, particularly in man. He was present and active; also in the theophanies to the Old Testament saints; and in the words of the law and the prophets, both oral and scriptural.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8230; the only-begotten Son of God\u2026 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Jesus is one with God as His only-begotten Son.
