What does the Bible say about the Church of the Firstborn?

Answered in 2 sources

The Church of the Firstborn refers to the assembly of believers who are eternally elected and saved by Jesus Christ, who is the sovereign head of the church.

The Church of the Firstborn is mentioned in Hebrews 12:23, where it is described as the assembly of believers whose names are written in heaven. This denotes a special relationship between Christ, the Firstborn from the dead, and His elect people, emphasizing their identity and security in Him. The concept stresses that believers are part of a divine family, chosen before the foundation of the world to be heirs with Christ. Therefore, the church is not merely a local congregation but a spiritual body of all those united with Christ in faith and grace.
