Romans 8:29 “..., in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.”
Romans 8:29 “..., in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.”
The term firstborn does not refer to time, but to place or status. Jesus Christ was not the first being created, since He Himself is the Creator of all things. Firstborn simply means “of first importance, of first rank.” Solomon was certainly not born first of all of David’s sons, yet he was named the firstborn (Ps. 89:27)
