Analysis Of Christ Is The Son Of God

“Christ is the Son of God, ‘begotten, not created,’” (157). In the English language, words such as begotten are not commonly used. Lewis states that to become the Father is to beget, while creating something is just making something. To become the Father, you become the Father of something that is similar to you, your kind. When Christians say that Christ is the Son of God, they mean that God created something like him, of the same kind. Even though God is out father, and we are sons and daughters of God, Christ was of the same kind as him.

We as Christians are sons and daughters of God, but we are created in the image of Christ, like a statue is made of a man. Lewis goes onto give many different examples of this such as, a man who creates

Lewis uses the example of a man paying taxes. He states, “he pays them all right, but he does hope that there will be enough left over for him to live on,” (196).

Christian morality is very different from the idea of morality. God does not want us to think about right and wrong. He simply wants all of us. He does not want our desires or interests, our money or time, he wants us to lay our faults and self at His feet. Once we turn ourselves over to him, he gives us a new self.

When Lewis says that Christians are in for a rough time, he means it. Just because we are Christians and begin to see some transformation in our lives from the past, does not mean everything is going to be easy from there on out. God is always with us, but sometimes he does things that make us uncomfortable in the moment to make for a better tomorrow. When we are going through something of this sort, we do may think that it is unnecessary, but we cannot see down the road that God is taking us

Instead, we have some people who are 75% in, or one foot in one foot out. Having a title, does not automatically impose certain characteristics onto a person. Along with human doctrine acceptance comes human failure. Many humans just simply let something slip every once in a while that they do not always mean. For example, someone who was raised in a home where parents were abusive and siblings fought, may say some things that are rude, in comparison to someone who grew up in a loving home, no matter their religious choices. Lewis states that, “Christianity professes to put both temperaments under new management,”
