" Like Esau, many regenerated Christians have despised their birthright, loving the worldly enjoyments and not caring for the preciousness of God’s birthright. Most of today’s Christians are like this. They do not care to express God, to represent Him, nor to be in God’s kingdom in the church life. Thus, when the kingdom comes, they will have no share in it. In their life today they have sold their birthright. Due to the enjoyment of the physical things, they have neglected and despised their birthright. If they cared for God’s expression, representation, and kingdom, they would stay in the proper church life, which is God’s kingdom today. "
