The "congregation of the firstborn" is a way to speak about God's people. Some scholars think this is all people who believe in God. That is, it includes people who believed in God before Jesus lived. The author wrote about some of these people in chapter 11. It also includes everyone who has ever believed in Jesus. Other scholars think the “congregation of the firstborn” are angels. This is because God created angels before he created people. The word “firstborn”(πρωτότοκος/g4416) spoke about a shared inheritance. That is, Christians all will share in one inheritance. This is an inheritance given by God to both men and angels. -See: Angel; Inherit (Inheritance, Heir); People of God; Firstborn +See: [Angel](../articles/angel.md); [Inherit (Inheritance, Heir)](../articles/inherit.md); [People of God](../articles/peopleofgod.md ); [Firstborn (Birthright)](../articles/firstborn.md) ### Why did the author write “registered in heaven”? When the author wrote "registered in heaven," he wanted people to think about God having a written record of everyone who believes in him. Some people call this the "book of life" (see: Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:5, 13:8, 17:8, 20:12, 21:27). To be “registered in heaven” means a person is one of the people who are at peace with God and will live with God in heaven forever. Their names are written down, and they are considered citizens of heaven (see: Ephesians 2:18-22). -See: Grace; Heaven; Citizen +See: [Grace](../articles/grace.md); [Heaven](../articles/heaven.md); [Citizen](../articles/citizen\.md) ### Who are the “spirits of the righteous ones”?
