First Fruits
A first fruit is literally the first fruit or the first evidence of something new.
First of a Kind is labeled as Firstfruits in the bible.
It is a name of honor and faith that there will be more of that kind of fruit in the future.
First Fruit is the very first fruit.
It means there is no other like it yet.
Firstfruits is the first fruit before you see any other fruit.
Sometimes it takes 3 to 4 generations to see the fruit.
Jesus was the ultimate first fruit.
(1 Cor 15:20, 23)
There was no other like Him YET!!!
He gave Himself, so it secured the future of their being others.
Churches were first fruits.
The ones in the upper room were a first fruit.
The apostles were a first fruit.
(Rom 8:23)
Romans 8:23, 1 Corinthians 15:20, 1 Corinthians 15:23, 1 Corinthians 16:15, James 1:18, Revelation 14:4
All the examples of Firstfruits in the new testament are of a relational context.
It is almost like the people who are being called firstfruits are being honored with that title.
Jesus being the main example.
Church groups who gave their lives.
People who kept themselves pure sexually.
It is important to note that almost all people and groups that were honored with the title Firstfruits, were martyred.
They gave their lives, so there can be more fruit of the same kind after them.
All the examples of Firstfruit in the new testament are about people giving their life for others.
What does Firstfruits look like in my life?
Jesus lived and died as a Firstfruit for us not for himself.
Firstfruit is for others and most commonly represents dying for others.
Living for your future and for your children’s future.
Example:
If you have an argument with a friend, be the first to forgive or ask for forgiveness.
Be the first to believe in someone even if they have not earned it yet.
Jesus believed in you and me before we earned it.
"Be the first"
In forgiving
To believe in others and who God says you are.
To trust
To listen
To give
Time
Affection
Empathy
Maybe you are the first to hear from God on a subject that it seems everyone is ignoring it, be the First to live it.
Not to get other to live it, but you be the First of a Kind.
If you become the first of a kind there will be other fruit after.
The word firstfruits in the bible verse is also translated beginning in other translations.
