Make no mistake every Christian is a role model to other Christians. Therefore its important that we mark out a strait path for ourselves so those who follow even though weak like us will not slip but become stronger in Jesus 12: 12-13.
Esau deliberately turned away from God when he sold his birthright, a root of bitterness sprang up and destroyed his life. We must make sure that we don’t miss out on the grace of God. We must not relegate grace simply to the gift of salvation, we need grace everyday, without grace we are unable to be what God has called us to be. If we think we can deal with the sins of the flesh in our own way we are in danger of turning away from God, this is when a root of bitterness starts to grow. A root of bitterness effects not only ourselves but others also, if we hold onto things that God has already dealt with, or don’t forgive others as God has forgiven us a bitter root will not only engulf us but destroy fellowship with others and be in danger of grieving the Holy Spirit also 12:13-14, Ephesians 4:30.u
The good news is that unlike Esau we are Gods children through our faith in Jesus, if we turn to Him he will forgive us and deal with the bitter root for good 1 John 1: 9.
Everything will be shaken! only the eternal things that God has made will stand. This is why the, heroes of faith we read about in chapter 11 were each looking beyond this life to an eternal home. A child of God can be shaken but will stand because God will make him stand, because their name is registered in heaven 12:22-24, 27.
A verse to remember
Mark out a strait path for your feet. Then those who follow you, though they are weak and lame, will not stumble and fall but will become strong. Hebrews 12:13
