Things that Can Lead to Bitterness

Hebrews 12:11-16 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless

afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

Holiness and bitterness are incompatible according to Hebrew 12. And, bitterness is something that troubles and defiles more than just the one carrying it. It spreads itself all over the place when it is cultivated and watered and fertilized and encouraged to grow. It is the kudzu vine that covers and chokes and kills. Curiously, the first significant sin mentioned after the defiling of bitterness is fornication. Individuals becoming profane are included next, with the example of Esau who sold his birthright as the father of the tribes of Israel and the bearer of the line of the Messiah for mere food. If you go back and read the story of Esau, bitterness is one of his prominent characteristics.

Evening Song - The Old Account Was Settled Long Ago

Romans 8:32-34 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 

Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 

1 John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
