The firstborn of a man’s family is designated as first-fruits, receiving double honor. The physical nation of Israel was God’s first fruits, planted to bear fruit, but sadly, like the cursed fig tree, it failed to produce much more than weeds. As Christ’s called-out ones, we are the current crop of First Fruits, given a new spiritual birth. God has ordained that we bear spiritual fruit, in a totally different dimension from the first fruits of physical Israel. <\/p>\n
