Q: If The Bible is God breathed and is for instruction righteousness the term 'firstborn' must be applied in relation to the reader is it not?
A: Yes. The everlasting covenant in the first chapter of Genesis refers to heavenly blessings.St Paul says God "who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ." God blessed man after our image and after our likeness' So his death and resurrection shows us the way. It proves God loved the world that "that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." It is in this sense we make the sense of " the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence." Day one speaks of the creation of heaven. Blessing of Christ being the true Light is made available to the believer in heaven. The waters mentioned under the day two holds blessing. "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not."(Lam.3:22) Day three sets Christ as the tree of life, tree of righteousness.(Ps.1:1-3). Blessings from life forms are incalculable. No less are the lights to give light upon the earth. All these blessings give the volume to a believer and his world is ever moving in tandem with what those cloud of witnesses in heavenly places,- they are ministering angels, are they not?
Jesus Christ as the firstborn is set in context of this world of the believer.
The world and its ways have another direction. They have the ways of the world and we have the fellowship of God. It is in hiis Son.This is how you make sense of the Spirit's lead. As many as are led by the Spirit they are children of God. Instead of splitting the hair in nonsensical disputes let us live as God intended and worship God in truth and spirit.
