Esau appears in the Book of Genesis and is often used to exemplify the surrender of something precious (one’s birthright) for something trivial (stew). Little-faith is different from Esau because he didn’t willingly give up his inheritance (his faith). According to Bunyan’s theology, someone who possesses the gift of true faith—even a tiny, weak glimmer of faith—cannot ultimately lose it. Some, like Great-grace, are “champions” of faith, while others will always struggle.
