we are looking at Deuteronomy 6:5-7 to highlight the importance of leaving a legacy.
5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.
Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you. We choose what type of legacy we leave
For you see, our life style is already communicating to our children our legacy as it displays to them just where our priorities lie.
So…simply wanting to be a better person is NOT good enough if we do not know the STANDARD we have ALREADY chosen to gauge your decisions.
As Christian men and women we are continually encouraged to make Christ our standard and to love God and others…regardless,
And it does not take too long to experience our complete inability to do this without a saving relationship through our Lord Jesus Christ.
And this Saving Relationship is witnessed to by our Transparency in needing Christ ever day in highs and lows of living out our lives. For that is what brings glory to God, because it offers others a legacy of hope in knowing there is more to living than this world could ever offer.
