The life you live today determines the legacy you leave tomorrow.

Do not be deceived:\\xa0God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh,\\xa0from the flesh will reap destruction;\\xa0whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.\\xa0Let us not become weary in doing good,\\xa0for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:7-9 (NIV)

You reap what you sow\\u2026 Later than you sow\\u2026 More than you sow.

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life\\xa0and the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:8\\xa0(NIV)

Therefore, since we have these promises,\\xa0dear friends,\\xa0let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness\\xa0out of reverence for God. 2 Corinthians 7:1 (NIV)

With promises like this to pull us on, dear friends, let\\u2019s make a clean break with everything that defiles or distracts us, both within and without. Let\\u2019s make our entire lives fit and holy temples for the worship of God. 2 Corinthians 7:1 (MSG)

\\u201cI am\\xa0the true vine,\\xa0and my Father is the gardener.\\xa0He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit,\\xa0while every branch that does bear fruit\\xa0he prunes\\xa0so that it will be even more fruitful.\\xa0You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.\\xa0Remain in me, as I also remain in you.\\xa0No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit;\\xa0apart from me you can do nothing.\\xa0If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.\\xa0If you remain in me\\xa0and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.\\xa0This is to my Father\\u2019s glory,\\xa0that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me,\\xa0so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.\\u201dJohn 15:1-9\\xa0(NIV)

His divine power\\xa0has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him\\xa0who called us\\xa0by his own glory and goodness.\\xa0Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises,\\xa0so that through them you may participate in the divine nature,\\xa0having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;\\xa0and to knowledge, self-control;\\xa0and to self-control, perseverance;\\xa0and to perseverance, godliness;\\xa0and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.\\xa0For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive\\xa0in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.\\xa0But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind,\\xa0forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins. 2 Peter 1:3-9 (NIV)
