Jesus Christ, Firstborn

See also Jesus Christ, Divine Sonship. The scriptures are clear that Jesus Christ was the Firstborn. In D&C 93:21, the Savior states: “And now, verily I say unto you, I was in the beginning with the Father, and am the Firstborn.” He was the Firstborn of all the Spirits. He is Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last. “In the beginning was the Word” In Moses 2:26, Heavenly Father stated: “And I, God, said unto mine Only Begotten, which was with me from the beginning: Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and it was so. And I, God, said: Let them have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” Not only was He the Firstborn of all the Spirits, but He was the first person to be resurrected.
