Your Family Tree

Every family tree has its mixture of strength and struggle, honour and hardship. The roots may run deep in love, or they may be marked by pain. But in Christ, we are grafted into a new lineage—one of grace, hope, and eternal purpose. You are not only a branch from your past, but also a new shoot in God's plan.

The Bible says, “For you are all sons of God, through faith in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:26, ESV). Your spiritual inheritance transcends earthly DNA. It’s shaped not by the flaws of generations gone, but by the righteousness of the Saviour who adopted you into His family.

While it’s interesting to find out your heritage, you are now creating a spiritual family tree. Today, choose to carry forward what reflects God’s goodness, and leave behind what hinders growth. In Christ, your family tree is not just redeemed—it flourishes.

Quote
