260 – What Will Your Spiritual Legacy Be?

The Bible Speaks to You: Think, Pray, Love like Jesus

260 – Is it possible for you to bless people 100 years from now?
Have you ever wondered what impact your life might have on future generations? Will people remember you 100 or 200 years from now or will your life be forgotten by the world in general?

You just might have more influence on the future than you can imagine. Think of folks who lived hundreds of years ago who are a blessing to you: maybe an author or an artist, or some historical figure.
And of course, think of all the people in the Bible, who lived thousands of years ago, but their lives, and the lessons they learned, are still a blessing to us today.
If this can be true for them, then it can be true for you and me as well.
What will your spiritual legacy be for future generations? In this week's episode I talk about.

• The best way to leave a spiritual legacy is to obey God's commandments
• Teach your children and those around you to love God and all mankind
• God told Abraham he and his descendants would be a blessing to the whole world. If it's true for Abraham, it is true for you too
• Jesus knew he would be a blessing for the whole world for all time to come
• As a follower of Jesus, your life can have a similar far-reaching effect

The choices you make today in obedience to God, the way you live your life in following Christ, the humility you express in being guided by the Holy Spirit, will have a lasting influence far into the future, more than you can imagine or will ever know.
Acknowledge this influence is possible. Accept it. And trust God with the spiritual legacy you’re giving to future generations.
