We can no more be destroyed than God can be made a liar. We belong to Him and are held to Him by His word of truth. We are the first fruits. There is a big promise in that. The first of the harvest was offered to God as a token of the whole harvest, acknowledged as belonging to Him and as a gift from Him. To say first fruits means there are more gifts to follow. With every gift, God pushes our hands wider open to receive a still larger gift. The bother with us is that we often hold our hands open just enough for little gifts in fear that if the gifts get too big they may overwhelm us. The gifts may begin to take us over, and we may not be able to manage them.
