Lesson 1.3 | First Fruits Living for God Where Culture Is Influenced The lesson explores the biblical concept of first-fruits, which represents the giving of the first and best of one's produce or possessions to God as an acknowledgment that everything comes from Him. This offering was also an expression of faith and trust that God would continue to provide . Jericho, as the first city the Israelites conquered in the Promised Land, served as a "first-fruits" offering to God. God instructed the Israelites to leave it in ruins and not rebuild it, signifying that it belonged to Him. The act of giving first-fruits demonstrated the Israelites' trust in God's ability to provide for their future needs. By giving the first part of their harvest, they expressed their faith that God would bless the rest . The lesson suggests that faithfully giving God our first-fruits allows the world to see God's power and provision, rather than our own. This can impact the culture around us with the gospel.
