Jesus is the most famous person in history, but other than his name, most people do not know much about him, and have many different ideas about who he really is.

What does the Bible say about him?

He was compassionate, justifiably angry, loving, grieved, a man of many sorrows...
He does only what The Father says, He did not beat around the bush but gave the gospel straight and unadulterated. Hated hypocrisy. Loved all people (didn't like the Pharisees much tho, ha!)
He was so far removed from sin, people were perplexed by Him, and His knowledge being so young. Yikes, so much more!

That He is "the only begotten"...meaning, this is but His story and all of it is "in Him."

Out of all of God's sons that title applies exclusively to Jesus, why do you think Jesus is referred to as God's only begotten son Scott?

So since God is with us, are you with Him? What are some of your goals toward Him sir?
I try to be in constant prayer, as Paul taught (1 Thessalonians 5:17). My goal towards him would be to obey him. After all, he knows what is best for us, and he only wants the best for us.

Because He was the only One of the Father who was born again.

He was the first, and yes the only one during his lifetime that was. But keep in mind, he had that title before coming to earth, correct? Likely you remember God sent His only-begotten son to earth Jn 3:16 so being born again is most likely not the reason Scott.

What was all before the foundation of the world can either be believed to be at each appointed time of revelation...or when it actually occurred before. If you refer to the one and I refer to the other, you are correct, reason is not being fully considered.
