Although the N.T. often speaks of Jesus as the Son of God, what's significant about the way the Apostle John uses that title?

He refers to the Son of Man 12 times in his gospel, but Son of God (or its equivalent) 32 times. The synoptic gospels collectively use the term Son of God 36 times in all three accounts. This means that John’s gospel has a significant stress on Jesus as the Son of God. He gives a reason for that emphasis in John 20:31 – > “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the > Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through > his name.” KJV **What are the ‘signs’ he gives in his gospel that point to Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God, and what would believing in Christ that particular way entail?** What belief, precisely? He surely wasn’t meaning just to rattle off the phrase, “Jesus Son of God” like a ritual mantra. **What does it mean to believe in Jesus as the Son of God, according to John?**
