This sermon is given by GPP Campus Pastor Jared Seeland. The scripture reference is from Ephesians 6:14.Key VersesEphesians 6:14Proverbs 4:232 Corinthians 5:21Isaiah 64:62 Corinthians 3:18QuestionsWhat's the difference between imputed righteousness and imparted righteousness? Why is it important to understand both?Pastor Jared mentioned that our enemy aims for 'the area of greatest effect' - our hearts. What are some ways Satan tries to plant seeds of sin in our hearts?How does wearing the 'breastplate of righteousness' change the way we interact with others who don't share our faith?Pastor Jared talked about righteousness being defined by truth, not our own understanding. Can you think of a time when you thought you were doing the right thing but later realized it wasn't aligned with God's truth?What does it mean to 'become the kind of person who does what is right' rather than just trying to do the right things?Pastor Jared used the analogy of feeding a 'cute puppy' that becomes a 'wolf.' What are some seemingly small sins that can grow into bigger problems if left unchecked?How can we practically 'put on' the breastplate of righteousness each day? What would this look like in your daily routine?The C.S. Lewis story about the lizard illustrates our attachment to sin. What makes it so difficult to let Jesus 'kill' the sin in our lives?Life ApplicationThis week, do an honest self-evaluation of your heart. Identify one area where the enemy may have gained a foothold through sin, compromise, or wrong thinking. Confess this to God and consider sharing it with a trusted Christian friend for accountability. Create a practical plan to 'starve' this sin while 'feeding' righteousness in that area of your life.Key TakeawaysWe cannot create our own righteousness through good works - it must come from JesusThe enemy targets our hearts because they are the wellspring of life and the source of our decisionsRighteousness involves both right standing with God (imputed) and becoming more like Christ (imparted)Wearing spiritual armor feels heavy and uncomfortable, but it's better than receiving wounds from the enemyTrue righteousness means becoming the kind of person who naturally chooses what is right according to God's truth------------------------------------------------------------------Welcome to Grace Pointe!
