As author and Christian activist Corrie ten Boom once said, "God has no grandchildren." We cannot inherit salvation from our parents. In God's eyes, pedigree counts for nothing. Who owns your faith? Is it our country? Your parents? Your church? Or is it your own? If you come from a Christian family, praise God for the legacy of faith that taught you to discern truth early in life. However, beware of the trap of complacency. Remember that belonging to God is always rooted in a heart transformed by the Holy Spirit - never in one's ancestry.
