Holding Forth the Word of Life

Author Pastor Randy Moll

  • And, the words which Jesus spoke are Spirit and they are life. They are the truth revealed by the Holy Spirit of God in His Word. And, it is through these words that the Spirit regenerates us, brings us to faith in Christ and gives us life in Jesus! “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17; cf. Romans 1:16-17; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

  • We may consider this account of insignificance; but, in fact, it has a message of great significance to every Christian today. As Isaac’s firstborn son, Esau had the birthright, a double portion of the inheritance and, in Esau’s case, the blessings given to Abraham and Isaac which included, not only the promise of the land, but of the Messiah and Savior of the world. Yet, for a single meal when he was hungry, Esau sold his birthright to Jacob his brother. For one serving of food which satisfied him for only a few hours, Esau gave up blessings which extend into eternity!

  • The precious truth expressed in this passage of God’s Word was for centuries clouded and hidden from the people. Even today many think that salvation depends upon human works rather than upon the grace and favor of God toward sinful man. But salvation from the eternal torments of hell which we all deserve on account of our sinfulness is by God’s grace alone and through faith alone in Jesus Christ!
