James 1:16-18 ESV
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
That which is good and perfect comes from the Father above. What is that He gives us? The truth. That truth enables us to be like Him. He has made us children of light.
The firstfruits implies there is a full crop that will later be reaped at harvest time. We are at the beginning of a wondrous thing, like Eve fashioned from Adam's rib, we are fashioned and born in the body of Christ.
The seed by which we are born is the word of truth. By His word comes forth a creation as He willed.
