Lineage in Christ

Lineage, their are those that try to lean on the arm of what others have done. Their are those that try to rely on their parents standing with GOD, but they themselves have no real depth in HIM. Even though we learn much from the victories of those that have preceded us and get direction, we HAVE to get this for ourselves. What dear old dad did does not automatically qualify you at all. But if you are of the lineage of CHRIST, if you have been buried with him in baptism then in life you will rise. We desperately need direction from the elders, BUT what are you doing to make sure your heritage is true, because in turn your heritage dictates your future in him.
