For most people, living a legacy is a lofty ambition.

After all, we're far too busy with the here and now, solving complicated problems that

dog us every day.

But the Bible describes a higher calling for those who love God.

Today, on Insight for Living, we have the privilege of hearing a message that Chuck Swindall presented

to a receptive audience of seminary students preparing for full-time Christian service.

In his address, Chuck challenged these seminarians to live each day with the end in mind.

He titled his message, What Will You Pass On To Others?

Thanks to the Apostle Paul, careful work in Romans, we find a veritable checklist of the

qualities that are worth passing on from one life to another.

In the latter half of Romans chapter 12, I'm looking at nine through sixteen, actually,

I want you to listen for characteristics in a life worth living.

Paul writes in verse nine from the new living translation, Don't Just Pretend to Love Others?

Really Love Them?

Hate Put His Wrong?

Hold tightly to what is good.

Love each other with genuine affection.

Take delight in honoring each other.

Never be lazy, but work hard in the serve of the Lord enthusiastically.

Rejoice in our confident hope.

Be patient, in trouble, and keep on praying.

When God's people are in need, be ready to help.
