Godless Like Esau

Hebrews 12:15-16 - See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is … immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal.


Genesis 25:31 - Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright now.”

Philippians 3:19 - Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.

Application:

· My body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Am I disgracing God’s temple?
· Do I seek to gain advantage over others by any means? Are the blessings I receive by my wits or by God’s appointment?
· Am I deeply self-centered? Do my appetites and desires come first? Have I set my mind on the things of this life?
