As is stated elsewhere in the NT (such as I Corinthians 15), Jesus is the first one to have been permanently released from the clutches of death. As the “firstborn” He is also the primary inheritor of God’s kingdom, the Son of God—Psalm 88:27-37; II Samuel 7:13-16; Psalm 2:7-8.
To be "firstborn" is to imply that there are others who are also born. Throughout the NT, Jesus is called the "brother" of the members of God's kingdom, all of whom will receive resurrection.
