If Christ Jesus is the `first` then there must be others to follow.   We are to be Sons Of God - not sinners saved by Grace.   

We can only manifest as Sons Of God when we are Spirit Filled with transformed minds.   

Christ died:
   → to keep us from having to go to Hell
   → to enable us to be Born Again as New Spirit beings
   → to baptize us with His Holy Spirit
   → to enable us to partner with Him in the Kingdom work
   → to enable us to manifest the character and power of His Holy Spirit
   → to empower us to rule and reign in the Earth
   → to keep us in eternal intimate personal relationship with Him

And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Holy Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to know, the redemption of our body. Rom 8:23 We are one third redeemed    → we are New Spirit beings which are perfect    → our soul is not perfect    → our body wastes away When Christ returns He will complete our redemption.      Until then our perfect spirit selves are held back by the corruption in our body and soul.

For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. Rom 11:16 It is in the holy firstfruit (Jesus) that we branches are holy because the Holy Spirit is the root of the First Fruit and of every branch.

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 1Co 15:20 The Truth about the Truth.      Jesus proved He had power over death and the grave.

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ`s at his coming. 1Co 15:23 Hallelujah!     We are next!

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Jam 1:18 We are saved because the Holy Spirit loves us.     He desired us, created us, redeemed us, filled us and has made us Accepted In The Beloved.      Note that we are born of the Word and the Holy Spirit.         → the Word is what Jesus said and who He is    → the Holy Spirit is the inspiration and essence of Jesus.         → we are begotten of the Holy Spirit as New Spirit beings on the authority of what Jesus has accomplished for us.

These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.     These are they which follow the Lamb wherever he goes.     These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto the Lord and to the Lamb. Rev 14:4 The Lord told Adam and Eve to procreate.     Sexual relations in marriage do not defile the man or the woman.      So, the concept of virginity with respect to the 144000 must relate to their total commitment to Christ Jesus.     They are not torn between the carnal and the spiritual.
