Romans14: 7 For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself.
In other words, you can’t just live unto yourself. Your life has an effect. And this is a kingdom principle.
And as you walk through this life, you leave a trail behind you of life or death, or a mix of the two. And these trails or influences remain and often multiply.
This is one of the most fundamental realities of life. No one lives unto themselves. No one dies unto themselves. There is an effect. The ripples go out and so wherever you go after you leave you’ve left something behind. Our lives touch and influence other people. The circumstances we find ourselves in, the trails of influence we leave behind in our relationships affect people, either good or in a harmful way.
Especially our family, they will grow up loving us or hating us and it seems their is nothing you can do about it except pray.
Then Paul goes on to say because of this in verse 10 Why do you judge your brother, or why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
