“A woman once said to Charles Haddon Spurgeon, ‘I cannot understand why God should say that He hated Esau.’ ‘That,’ Spurgeon replied, ‘is not my difficulty, madam. My trouble is to understand how God could love Jacob.’”
Jacob was a scoundrel. In fact his name means "cheater" yet God chose him as the heir of salvation. Just like us, we are all cheaters (or worse) yet God has chosen some of us for salvation.
