The Gospel Shreds Your Resume | J.D. Greear

What if the thing you’re trusting in to make you right with God is the very thing the gospel has to break apart? In this clip from Philippians 3, Pastor J.D. Greear points us to the story of Nathan Cole, a farmer saved during the Great Awakening, who said gospel preaching “broke up” his old foundation and showed him that his own righteousness could not save him. The Christian life does not begin with trying harder, becoming more impressive, or building a better spiritual resume. It begins by receiving the righteousness of Christ. And the same is true for our growth: it is not our power for God that sustains us, but God’s resurrection power at work in us. There is hope for the weak, the weary, the guilty, and the disappointed—because Jesus gives both gift righteousness and gift power to all who receive him by faith. 📖 Philippians 3 📍 The Summit Church -- New to the Summit?
