YOUR FAMILY LEGACY

When we leave this earth, we leave a legacy of our life. Our legacy is a testimony of our life. It testifies as a witness to the way we lived and how it affected others. The bible refers to memorials. Examine the scriptures below to see how a memorial can be similar to a legacy.

And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed. Esther 9:28

Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations. Psalm 135:13

Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. Matthew 26:13
