We are all family, but we also must establish our own personal relationship with God. Just because my grandmother was a Believer and lived her life for Christ, doesn't mean I am now saved by riding her coattails. I must believe on my own, I must accept Jesus for me, not because my relatives believed.
Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. (John 17:3)
True Disciples of Jesus Christ, go out into the world and make Disciples of Jesus Christ. Once I know Jesus and accept His love, grace and mercy, I grow in my relationship with Him.
Grow in the grace and knowledge of our LORD and Savior Jesus. (2 Peter 3:18)
I am transformed and changed through and through. Then, as a natural part of this Discipleship path, I will go with Jesus. I will go and share this news with others. I will share the Gospel as a true Disciple of Jesus Christ.
This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. (John 15:8)
Genesis 28:10-22
