The Call of the World

The call of the World – Rom 9:12-13

Vs 12 – Paul clears up a very important argument.  Many feel that good works is the grounds for acceptance by God.  Paul makes it clear that it is God’s call.  In Rebecca’s case she was told the older would serve the younger.

Vs 13 – In the oral law it was written that Jacob was loved and Esau was hated because as the first born he rejected his birth right.  He was also proned to love foreign women.  God saw the hearts of the two boys.  He knew which one would handle the things of God better.  He knew who would serve Him.  Esau though he had the birth right did not value it.  Jacob did and would later bring about the greatest blessings.  Value the things of God and handle them properly and through you God can and will change your world.  Be a Jacob not an Esau.
