Donald Grey Barnhouse – Birthright
History shows that men prefer illusions to realities, choose time rather than eternity, and the pleasures of sin for a season rather than the joys of God forever. Men will read trash rather than the Word of God, and adhere to a system of priorities that leaves God out of their lives. Multitudes of men spend more time shaving than on their souls; and multitudes of women give more minutes to their makeup than to the life of the eternal spirit. Men still sell their birthright for a mess of pottage.
Spiritually speaking, many today despise their birthright.Ephesians 1:3-14 shows us a treasury of riches that are ours by birthright in Jesus:
- Every spiritual blessing
- The blessing of being chosen in Jesus
- Adoption into God’s family
- Complete acceptance by God in Jesus
- Redemption from our slavery to sin
- True and total forgiveness
- The riches of God’s grace
- The revelation and knowledge of the mystery of God’s will
- An eternal inheritance
- The guarantee of the indwelling Holy Spirit
Far too many neglect or trade away this birthright for cheap entertainment, momentary popularity, or passing pleasures.
