Are we selling our BIRTHRIGHTS, FOR WHAT?

The birthright (the right or privilege to which a person is entitled by birth, American Heritage Dictionary) of every citizen of a country is the national heritage, national purpose, and reason for national courage. The birthright belongs to each citizen because he is a citizen. The value of the birthright depends of course upon the value and credibility of that nation.

We have, therefore, a spiritual birthright. God has given to every believer in the church a royal heritage, a royal mission, and a reason for royal courage. This threefold birthright is a foundation for living the Christian way of life (Philippians 1:27-30). ESAU  gave into the cravings of his hunger - Genesis 25:29-34. He valued the red pottage more highly than his birthright. For temporary, physical pleasures Esau sold his birthright. What about you and I. Are we barginging with the devil for a tempory fix, when God has already promised us everything.

 Romans 8:16-17 tell us of the heirs we are.
