Almost everyone would like to be remembered for something. Some would like to be remembered for their singing voices. Some would like to be remembered for great acts of service. Some would like to be remembered for being smart. Some would like to be remembered for inventions they made.
Christians want to be remembered for serving God. They want to be remembered for helping others go to heaven. They want to be remembered for demonstrating Christ in their lives.
In Isaiah 65:15, we read, “And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name.” Isaiah was condemning the wickedness of the Israelites. The Israelites considered themselves as God’s people. Yet, they believed that they could not be condemned. They thought they could do anything they wanted and still be given blessings by God. They actually thought that they would be remembered for generations as the kind of people God wanted.
But Isaiah told them that they would not be remembered with a good name. They would be remembered as cursed by God. They were going to die by the hand of God. God was going to completely reject them.
Make sure you will be remembered with a good name. Do not leave your name as a curse. Study your Bible. Obey what it says. Help others to learn the truth, and if any of this is hard to understand, ask an adult to help you.
