The sins of the fathers are passed down to the children to the third and fourth generation (Numbers 14:18). But thank God, the opposite is also true.
The blessings of a Godly life are also passed down through the generations. When we as parents are willing to die to self, deal with sin, and develop the character of Christ – we pass on to our children a Godly heritage.
A number of years ago I attended a conference where the life and legacy of Jonathan Edwards was being addressed. By the year 1900, his descendants included 300 clergymen (pastors, missionaries and theologians), 100 attorneys, 60 judges (one dean of a law school), 60 doctors (one dean of a medical school), 60 authors of fine classics, 100 professors and 14 presidents of universities, 3 mayors of large cities, 3 state governors, a controller of the US Treasury and a Vice-President of the United States.
It was said that Jonathan Edwards not only prayed for the salvation of his children and grandchildren but for the unborn future generations of his family.
I remarked of this to some new friends we were having dinner with. The husband said, “You don’t know, do you? My wife’s maiden name is Edwards. She’s a direct descendant of Jonathan Edwards.” They themselves were missionaries and they went on to share of other present day members of the Edwards family that were making an impact upon their generation for Jesus Christ.
