“Who not of blood nor of the will of flesh nor of will of man but of God were born” John 1:13
If what you are in your existence and persuasions and behaviour is produced actually by the Father Himself, you are one of these brethren. Jesus was first to be produced by God in existence and persuasion and behaviour, perfectly, and subsequently by resurrection too. Full of grace and truth like none before.
There were of course believers before the time of the disciples and apostles of Jesus, people such as Enoch, Noah, Moses, David, and the prophets and saints, but like at the wedding in Capernaum, when water turned to wine, it was the best wine which was kept until this time. Jesus’ disciples displayed the fruits of grace and truth in a better way than ever before, and Jesus was firstborn of these children of God.
