God Sees Christ Before He Sees You | Philippians 3 | J.D. Greear

Summary

The sermon's main theme is "gift righteousness," emphasizing a righteousness from God received through faith in Christ, not human effort. Citing the Apostle Paul and Romans, the preacher distinguishes this imputed righteousness, where Christ's record is credited to believers, from the slower, internal process of infused righteousness. The practical takeaway is that this gift of righteousness provides immediate confidence with God, being the core of the Christian message.
