Every one of us will leave a legacy behind when we die.  So the question is not "Will I leave a legacy?" But rather, "What kind of legacy will I leave?"  In his letter to the new believers in 1 Corinthians 13, Paul reveals three characteristics that produce a long lasting spiritual legacy:  faith, hope and love.  When these are at the very core of who you are, you will display works by faith, labor by love, and endurance by hope in Christ.  It is only when the legacy of Christ changes our character that we can begin to live and leave a lasting legacy. What is legacy? Legacy: something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past.

I will teach you hidden lessons from our past— stories we have heard and known, stories our ancestors handed down to us. We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders. – Psalm 78:2-4
