1 Chronicles 28:8
Now therefore in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God, that you may possess this good land and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.
The legacy of those who love the Lord is a good land left to their loved ones. Those who seek the Lord and His commandments love their descendants well. A good man will possess the land and his children will inherit it from him. A good man, however, ensures his children inherit more than the land, but also the love of the Lord that secured it in the first place. No land can be held without the land's Lord permitting it. A good inheritance includes the good habit of observing God's laws as good and the gratitude for the goodness that comes from keeping them. A legacy, then, is something you leave behind by putting the law of God before everything else and seeking it with all your heart, soul, mind, and might.
A legacy is leaving behind what you first sought.
Matthew 6:33
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
