2 Thessalonians 2:13-14 NIV
"But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ."
We are called God's "firstfruits"; just as our tithe to God is our firstfruit. How important we are to God, to be His firstfruit offering, to be set apart, to share in Gods glory. And this wil only happen through "our" Gospel of Truth, through the word of God as it appears in the Bible. This is why I need to continually be in the Word, so I may hear His calling for me, to know His will for my life.
Lord help me to live my life to make You proud, to honor Your choosing of me as Your firstfruits. To You my Lord and my Savior be the Glory.
