The Hebrew word for first fruit is bikkurim—literally translated to “promise to come.” The Israelites saw these first fruits as an investment into their future. God told them that if they brought their first fruits to Him, He would bless all that came afterward. When we give our first fruits, our eyes do not only look unto the blessings that we will receive now but also to what we will receive in the future. | Jesus Is Our Shield Worldwide Ministries
