In Genesis 25 Isaac and Rebecka had two sons Jacob and Esau. God had told them the older will serve younger and we in a weak moment saw Esau trade away his birthright to Jacob.
In chapter 26 we see Jacob and Rebeka being obedient to God and following Him as He told them where to live and blessed the work of their hands. He established Him and others respected and feared God as Jacob was blessed by Him. Even when he dug two wells the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled over, Jacob dug a third well and named it Rehoboth saying, "Now the LORD has given us room and we will flourish in the land." But taking advantage of Esau cost him. 34 When Esau was forty years old, he married Judith daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and also Basemath daughter of Elon the Hittite. 35 They were a source of grief to Isaac and Rebekah.
In Romans 9 God shows us He chooses His children. 8In other words, it is not the natural children who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring... 14What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 15For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." God has chosen to bring to Him those who make His son Lord of their life. When we put our life in His hands, He gives us life. Jesus said "Because I live, you also will live." John 14 19(NIV)
