Your Firstborn Identity Makes You First Along With Christ · TWOW 55

Protokos is not a theological curiosity. It is the identity Christ purchased so that everything he pioneered as the firstborn, you entered as a partaker.This teaching works through the meaning of protokos, drawn from the Greek roots protos and tikto, to show that Christ as the preeminent firstborn did not make copies of himself. He replicated himself. Sons are not imitations of Christ. They are born into his firstborn reality, sharing his identity as coheirs, co-seated, co-resurrected, and co-exalted. The teaching moves carefully through what it means to be the church of the firstborn in Hebrews 12, addressing the firstborn testimony as a present citizenship in heaven, not a future arrival. It also handles the accuser's removal at the cross, the advocacy of Christ, and the Spirit's witness to sonship, all as provisions secured within the protokos covenant.SCRIPTURE: Romans 8:29, Hebrews 12:22-23, Ephesians 1:4, Ephesians 2:6, Colossians 1:15-18, Romans 8:26SERIES: Sons of God.
