All people are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). An important facet of being in the image of God is that we are free to chose what path we will go. There are many paths in the world (Matthew 7:13-14) but only one leads to salvation: Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). We are free to decide whether we will serve the Lord or reject Him. If we chose a path other than Jesus Christ, we condemn ourselves (John 3:18). While it is a personal choice, it is more likely that the whole family will chose salvation if the head of the household has received Christ. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household" (Acts 16:31).
