Subject: Why does God love Jacob but reject Esau? |
Bible Note: Welcome to the Family. And stay in the Word. I believe God knows everything and He knew Esau and what He would do in his life. I feel I should state this though, Esau choices were Esau's choices God did not force Esau to do what Esau did. The ecect is a mystrey to me. But As you read through the Old Testiment you will probably notice that the blessings usually went to the younger son not the older. Or better yet the second son. FOr example Jacob and Esau, Issac and Ishmael and the list goes on. One of the reasons for this is Because Jesus is called the second Adam 1 Cor 15:22 "For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive." (1 Cor 15:22) "So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. (1 Cor 15:45) So from these verses we learn that The First Adam came death and the Second Adam gave us life. God Bless |
