GUARDING OUR HERITAGE Guarding our heritage -just exactly what does this imply? Does this refer to the protecting of and fighting for some property which has been or will be willed to us after the death of a predecessor? Does it mean that we, being heirs, shall receive some desired prize from our loved ones which shall prompt us to do all in our power to keep, check, and control this prize? To the above questions we would immediately answer, Yes . Indeed, guard- ing our heritage means all this and more. It surely means that we will inherit some sort of an estate. It may also mean that the traditions or family rights will be handed down for us to carry on after the death of our elders. Webster also expresses an additional idea regarding it. He says, . . hence the lot, condition or status into which one is born . . This is true in the sense that if the lot of a family is rich, so will be the condition or status of their sons and daughters since the estate will be willed to them and will be faithfully kept. protected, and guarded by them. Yes, this explains briefly the guarding of our heritage - the American's heritage. As Christians, we also have a heritage to guard. It is true that we have a worldly heritage to guard, but let us put one name before each previous point - the name Chirst. Cur Christian heritage has been willed to us by our Father in heaven and partially established for us by Old Testament fathers. Abraham, for instance, laid hold of a heritage of faith in God which in turn was handed down from generation to generation. Our heritage is something we have received from God - a Christian freedom, faith and function. We, being born into a family of Christian saints, are blessed with a rich lot, and a hopeful condition. This inheritance we are protecting, defending and guarding from evil, injury and loss. As a basketball player guards the ball to prevent scoring a point for the opposing team, so we are guarding our heritage from the opposing team - Satan and his hosts. We, being the Sons of God, are joint heirs with Christ. We are heirs of salvation and promise, of righteousness and grace. We are heirs, not IHOSK of all of a worldly estate, but of the Kingdom of God, of the heavenly mansion. Oh! It is with great joy that we protect, defend and guard such a glorious heritage.
