The Goal of the Christian Life

What is the goal of the Christian life? Today, R.C. Sproul reminds us that our aim as believers isn’t to pursue spirituality or piety, but something greater.

The goal of the Christian life is not spirituality, and the goal of the Christian life is not piety. The goal of the Christian life's not morality, but the goal of the Christian life is righteousness. We seek spiritual power, spiritual gifts, spiritual disciplines, not so that we can be spiritual, but so what? So that we can be righteous. Spirituality is a means to the end of righteousness. Morality can be practiced without a view to the glory of God. Piety can be practiced just in terms of external religious observation. What we want is authentic righteousness.
