How is God's love for Jacob different from His treatment of Esau?

Answered in 1 source

God loved Jacob by choosing him for salvation, while Esau was left to his sinful nature, demonstrating God's sovereign grace (Romans 9:13).

The difference in God's treatment of Jacob and Esau illustrates the dynamics of divine love and choice. Jacob was loved and chosen by God, reflecting the grace that led to his eventual transformation and blessing. In contrast, Esau's life exemplifies God allowing him to pursue his own path, resulting in his eventual rejection. This dichotomy shows that God's love is not arbitrary; rather, it is rooted in His purpose and will. As such, Jacob's story becomes a testimony of grace, a clear indication of how God can use flawed individuals to fulfill His greater purposes.
