2. God has a SON in heaven, by whom he made the worlds, and whom he sent from heaven to earth, to tabernacle for a while in human flesh, voluntarily abased in his powers to the condition of a man, to be a Mediator and Savior. In John, chapter 1, Jesus Christ is called "the Son of God," "the only-begotten of the Father," "the Lamb of God," who was "in the beginning with God," and "by whom all things were made." 3. That the Son of God is a being distinct from God is most obvious from the whole New Testament. In Phil. I, Paul prays for grace and peace "from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ." He adds, "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you." So throughout his epistle God and Jesus Christ are most plainly distinct beings. He says, that Christ condescended to come in fashion "as a man," on which account God highly exalted him: here are two beings: and Christ will be extolled at last to "the glory of God the Father."――He "worshipped God in the spirit and rejoiced in Christ Jesus."――Here are again two beings. Near the close of the epistle he says――"my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." How strange to Paul must have been the doctrine, that Christ was one of several beings making up one God? But the same distinction is clearly and fully set forth by Paul in all his other epistles as well as in that to the Philippians. He begins most of them with a prayer like that in the epistle to the Romans,――"Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." Then he "thanks God through Jesus Christ for them all;" the God, whom he serves "in the gospel of his Son." Read also,――"the righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ;"――"we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;"――"we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son;"――"the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord;"――nothing can "separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord;"――Paul prays, that his brethren may "glorify God even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;"――and after more of similar language he ends this epistle,――"To God only wise be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen."
