How do we know that salvation is not inherited?

Answered in 1 source

The story of Lot's wife illustrates that salvation is a personal matter and cannot be inherited through family ties.

Lot's wife serves as a clear example that salvation is not a family inheritance. She was married to a righteous man and had the privileges of being closely related to Abraham, yet she perished because she lacked personal faith in God. The Scripture teaches us in John 1:12 that individuals must personally receive Christ to become children of God. Being part of a Christian family or having Christian influences does not grant automatic salvation; one must be born again by the grace of God. The importance of this truth cannot be overstated, as it underscores the personal nature of faith and the necessity for each individual to trust Christ for their own salvation.
