This expression is taken from Deut. 26:2, and is used in connection with Christian worship. Being already heavenly (1 Cor. 15:48) in nature and standing in Christ, we come before God to offer to Him that which we have gathered (i.e., practically enjoyed) of the perfections of Christ (the true corn of the land), at the same time recalling the grace that called us into such a favored place. Observe that to worship thus, in truth, we must “be come” into the land (i.e., we must be true Christians) and “possess” it “and dwell” therein practically enjoy our position in communion with God).
