The answer
The Master Christ is the only Son of God by nature, which is to say that He is in the same essence with the Father.
We have previously illustrated that the sonship of Christ is by essence, and is not physical or reproductive. It is unique and unlike anything else in existence, and that is why He-to Him be glory-is referred to as “the Only-Begotten Son of God.”
