The Portion Esau Received (Genesis 36:6-7) Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the persons of his household, his cattle and all his animals, and all his goods which he had gained in the land of Canaan, and went to a country away from the presence of his brother Jacob. For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together, and the land where they were strangers could not support them because of their livestock. (NKJV)

The Blessing of a Birthright He would receive the chief blessing (Gen. 27:1-46) Entitled him to a double portion of the inheritance (Dt. 21:17) Succeeded his father as the head of the clan with judicial authority (2 Ch. 21:3)

The Birthright of a ChristianThe Birthright of a Christian (Romans 8:16-17) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. (NKJV)

The Birthright of a ChristianThe Birthright of a Christian (Titus 3:7) that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. (NKJV)

The Birthright of a ChristianThe Birthright of a Christian (James 2:5) Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? (NKJV)

The Birthright of a ChristianThe Birthright of a Christian (1 Corinthians 3:21-23) Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours: whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come--all are yours. And you are Christ's, and Christ is God's. (NKJV)

The Birthright of a ChristianThe Birthright of a Christian (Revelation 21:7) "He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. (NKJV)

The Birthright of a ChristianThe Birthright of a Christian (Mark 10:28-30) Then Peter began to say to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You." So Jesus answered and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel's, "who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time--houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions--and in the age to come, eternal life. (NKJV)

Esau as an “Antitype”Esau as an “Antitype” (Romans 9:30-31) What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness of faith; but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness. (NKJV)

Esau as an “Antitype”Esau as an “Antitype” (Romans 9:25-26) As He says also in Hosea: "I will call them My people, who were not My people, And her beloved, who was not beloved." "And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not My people,' There they shall be called sons of the living God." (NKJV)

Are we guilty of selling our birthright? The Christian gives up their birthright by living in to the passing pleasures of sin.

Have you sold your birthright by lusting after the things of this world? (Hebrews 11:24-26) By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward. (NKJV)

Are we guilty of selling our birthright? The Christian gives up their birthright by living in to the passing pleasures of sin. The Christian gives up their birthright by lusting after the things of this world.

Have you sold your birthright by lusting after the things of this world? (1 John 2:15) Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. (NKJV) (James 4:4) Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. (NKJV)

Are we guilty of selling our birthright? The Christian gives up their birthright by living in to the passing pleasures of sin. The Christian gives up their birthright by lusting after the things of this world. The Christian gives up their birthright by walking after the flesh, rather than the Spirit.

Hold on to your birthright!Hold on to your birthright! 1.By pursuing peace and holiness.

Pursue peace and holiness. (Hebrews 12:14) Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: (NKJV)

Hold on to your birthright!Hold on to your birthright! 1.By pursuing peace and holiness. 2.By making certain you do not fall short of God’s grace.

Make certain you do not fall short of God’s grace. (Hebrews 12:15) looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; (NKJV)

Hold on to your birthright!Hold on to your birthright! 1.By pursuing peace and holiness. 2.By making certain you do not fall short of God’s grace. 3.By exercising discipline and godliness.

Exercise discipline and godliness. (1 Corinthians 9:24-27) Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. (NKJV)

Exercise discipline and godliness. (1 Timothy 4:7-8) But reject profane and old wives' fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness. For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. (NKJV)

Do not make the same mistake Esau made. (Hebrews 12:16-17) lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears. (NKJV)
