First Fruits Of The Spirit - Romans 8:22-23

Romans 8:22-23 ESV 

For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

All of creation is giving birth to the sons of God. All of creation is for the purpose of giving birth to the sons of God. God has planted the seed of His word into our earth. The Holy Spirit has joined with our spirits and we experience the first fruits of the new creation. We begin to participate in God's Sabbath rest. We eagerly await for the consumption of His work that has already begun. The Spirit has raised us from the dead. The Spirit dwells in us. The Spirit will raise us into the Divine. 

The word became flesh and lived among us. The word is flesh and lives among us. This is the body of Christ that will be redeemed as He is.
