What does the Bible say about Christ being the firstborn son?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is recognized as the firstborn Son of God, representing His unique status and role in salvation.

In the context of Luke 2, Christ is referred to as Mary's firstborn Son. This designation highlights that He is also the firstborn of all creation, signifying His preeminence. The firstborn was consecrated to God under the law, illustrating that Christ holds a special place as both the firstborn of Mary and the firstborn of God, who is predestined to be the Eldest among many brethren. Colossians 1:18 further supports this by declaring Christ as the firstborn from the dead, establishing His authority and significance in God's redemptive plan.
