If any ask how the Angels are the Sons of God? I answer
First, Negatively, They are not the Sons of God, as Jesus Christ is. Angels became the Sons of God in time; Jesus Christ is the Son of God from Eternity. The Apostle (Heb. 1.5.) puts the question, To which of the Angels said he at any time, thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? The Angels are the created Sons of God; Jesus Christ only is his only begotten Son. Angels are the Sons of God by mee• grace and favour; the Lord accounting them as Sons, accepting them as Sons, using and respecting them as Sons, as he doth also all true believers, who likewise are the Sons of God. But Jesus Christ alone is the Son of God by Nature, or by an eternal generation, and was so declared in the fullness of time, both by his Incarnation and Resurrection; which many conceive to be the Apostles intendment, in those words, This day have I begotten thee; taken out of the second Psalm, and quoted (Acts 13.33.) as also (Heb. 1.5.)
