"GOD visits the iniquity of those who hate Him upon their children, unto the third and fourth generation". (Exodus 20:5) - VERSE EXPLAINED

God said He would pass the judgment executed on the wicked down to their future generations. Then in Ezekiel 33:14-15, He said if a sinner who deserves to be punished turns from his sin and practises justice and righteousness, he shall surely live, and not die. 
Sadly the wicked tend to pass down idolatry and disobedient practices to their children, who then carry on where their parents left off. Most people who refuse the Gift of Salvation are facing one challenge or the other today for the sins of their ancestors. Besides, if you are not yet saved, there are chances that you are already walking in your ancestors’ shoes.
The only way you can turn from your sin, practice justice and righteousness, and escape the judgment of God for the sins of your ancestors is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, and remain in Him. The blood of Jesus cleanses all sins and guilt. When you surrender to Him, you become a new creature. The Holy Spirit then dwells in you to keep you from stumbling.  No one is capable of living a life of holiness without the help of the Holy Spirit.

God does not change what He utters (Psalm 89:34).  What shields us from His judgement is the Blood of Jesus.
