The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life - EFFECT ON OFFSPRING -Conclusion

 However, it is one thing to make unintentional mistakes because of inherited sin, but entirely another matter deliberately to practice that one knows to be wrong. (1 John 5:16) If one is truly repent over mistakes, he can expect merciful forgiveness from God. (Proverbs 28:13) But he must be careful that, once he knows what is right, he does not deliberately choose to follow a course contrary to God's will. To do so would mean loss of God's favor and of life itself. - DEUTERONOMY 30:15-20; HEBREWS 10:26, 27.

Happily, Jehovah has made provision to save repentant ones from the bad effects of inherited sin and death. This grand relief will come through the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Concerning this provision the Bible says: God has sent forth is only -begotten Son into the world that we might gain life through him." (1 John4:9) So, in God's due time, under the Kingdom rule of his Son, inherited human perfection will gradually be taken away, and mankind will no longer feel the effects of Adam's sin. Why even the death we inherited from Adam will no longer have power over us! (Revelation21:3, 4) You can be the one to enjoy such blessings. How? By taking advantage of the provisions that Jehovah has made and proving your love for him, sincere love for him, by keeping his commandments.  -ECCLESIASTES 12:133. 

NOTE:  Remember that Jehovah knows your heart, mind, soul and your very being. He sees everything. So, he will know if your heart is true and sincere towards him. Otherwise, you won't be blessed in that way.
