Spiritual Birthright

For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.

Galatians 2:18-21

Your behaviors come from how you've learned how to survive. 

While you live in the flesh, you will have natural fleshly instincts that help you survive. When you become alive in the spirit through faith, another set of natural instincts appear that redirect your survival skills. Once your spirit is alive, you no longer have to let your life be ruled by the survival skills that have gotten you to where you are. You can die to your fleshly survival skills so your spiritual survival skills can drive the life you now live. You change your behaviors by changing whether you are surviving by the flesh or surviving by the spirit. Once you are made alive in the spirit, you must choose to live by the spirit.

Cling to your birthright. 

Only those who are born of the spirit have a spiritual birthright. Do not sell your birthright like Esau who traded his spiritual blessing for earthly survival skills. Once you are born of the spirit through faith in Jesus Christ, you have a spiritual birthright, not from your own merits, but from the merits of the One who gave life to your spirit. When you are alive in the spirit, you will walk in the spirit and grow in the spirit as you decide to make your spiritual birthright your primary identity. As you learn how to live by the spirit, maintaining your spiritual birthright, your survival instincts will become led by the spirit.

You can ask God to give life to others.

If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin that does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that. 

1 John 5:16

When you see a brother who has a spiritual birthright but is living by fleshly survival skills, you can ask God to help them live by the spirit. You can remind them of their spiritual birthright and awaken them to their spiritual survival skills. When you are living by your spiritual survival skills instead of your fleshly survival skills, you will inspire others to live by the spirit.
