What We Leave Behind : A Legacy of Faith - Deuteronomy 6:4-9

We often focus on leaving behind a legacy about what we've done, what we've gained, and all our successes. We leave a legacy that points to ourselves and the good things we want people to remember. We work towards things in life that are about gaining for ourselves, rather than giving something to others. We are called to a better legacy. We are to leave behind and give to others, legacy of faith. In our lives, we ought to seek to point others towards God, and his promise of provision and salvation for us in Jesus, that he will never break. We leave behind a legacy of faith, when we teach and point others in our lives, not to the community of the church, or to a specific virtuous teaching of Jesus, but to the promises of Jesus himself that we hope and trust in, and pray others after us will as well.
