18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first-fruits of all he created.
Observations:
We are a kind of first-fruits of all the Lord has created. We are the first portion or the first harvest, set aside and offered to the Lord. I love it that the Lord chose to make us His children, and to give us a way to Him through Christ.
Application:
First-fruits are offered to God. Our time, resources, and especially how we seek Him out, read His Word. We are set apart.
Prayer:
God, I praise You for creating us, making us new, and setting us apart. Help us to honor You with our lives and boldly pursue You. In Jesus' name I pray, amen!
