It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the glory honour of kings is to search out a matter.

And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.

Then my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation.

These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

It was of His own will that He gave us birth [as His children] by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits of His creatures [a prime example of what He created to be set apart to Himself—sanctified, made holy for His divine purposes].

Hebrews 1:6 (LEB):
And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,
“And let all the angels of God worship him.” But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Col.1.12,Col.1.13,Col.1.14,Col.1.15&version=KJV
So the question is: who are the saints that we have part of an inheritance “in light” with?
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.

The church of the Firstborn is a spiritual organism where the head of the body is Christ. Those believers in him are of his body(which is also as the temple) which belongs to the spirit, and where the spirit resides. The church moves as a living person/people and is led and supported by ministering spirits who are ordained for the organism/body.
How many of us, as believers in Christ Jesus, have visited a local, regional, or global general assembly and someone asked us this question: ”What church do you belong to?” The answer you choose should be carefully thought through. The answer for us, as our faith will recognize is that there is only one church on earth and it is the body which recognizes and receives its inheritance from Christ as its head. So there is only one answer to this question biblically. The word of the Lord speaks of his church called Church of the Firstborn.
It’s the only answer we have by faith. It’s the church Jesus ordained and leads as the head. Every other gathering of believers should properly be called a General Assembly or Fellowship and rightfully so. This may cause much controversy to the proud leaders of most congregations, and your chastisement. However, this is necessary and must be shared to give glory to our Lord and allow the power of his ministry be established on earth, as it is in heaven. Only he can structure the church for us, no man can build it, mankind may only gather in fellowship to speak, teach and exercise the gifts for the glory of Christ.
This is accomplished on earth as the General Assembly.
And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, But he passing through the midst of them went his way, And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

With Christ as the head of the church, we discover the ministry through the fellowships, many are Called and few are chosen to receive the gifts within the five folds of Christ’s ministry.
Here is the gospel which Jesus taught and we, as His church, must teach also:
But he said unto them, Surely I must also preach the kingdom of God to other cities: for therefore am I sent.

And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire.
