What Is the Goal of the Christian Life?

Summary

In this sermon, R.C. Sproul argues that righteousness is the most important pursuit for Christians, despite the term being often overlooked or misunderstood in contemporary spiritual discourse. Drawing from biblical teachings, particularly Matthew 6:33, Sproul emphasizes that God's primary desire is for believers to seek His righteousness above all else. He challenges listeners to move beyond discussions of spirituality, piety, and morality, and instead focus on developing true righteousness as the chief goal of the Christian life. The key practical takeaway is that Christians should intentionally pursue righteousness, understanding it as the fundamental pathway to fulfilling God's purposes.
