What would you like to be remembered for? What one line do you want on your tombstone?
Morbid? Yeah, maybe a tad. But something to think about anyway. What legacy do you want to leave? What are you doing about it?

@LadyGrace Many believe in Christ. Sadly the Bible says many will be surprised on the day of judgement. All we can do is our imperfect best.
Matthew 7:22-23 (NLT): "On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws’".

@LadyBronte I'm just saying that's what I would put on my tombstone. If people prepare for heaven, they won't have to be surprised. That's the whole purpose of being here on this earth. It gives us a chance to prepare for eternity.
And you're right. Thank you for highlighting Matthew 7:22–23, as it reminds us that just calling one's self a Christian or doing religious things, isn’t enough. Many people might think they’re following Christ because they go to church, pray, or do “good works,” but Jesus makes it clear that what matters is truly knowing Him and following Him from the heart. It’s not about appearances, tradition, or trying to be good—it’s about a committed relationship with Him and letting Him guide our lives. That’s what this passage has taught me, and I’m learning to follow Him more faithfully every day.
