How Christians Respond to the Incarnation | Dr. Phil Griffin

from The Church at Grace Point - Sermons · host The Church at Grace Point

The incarnation is not just a Christmas idea — it is the foundation of our faith. In this message from the How Christians Respond series, Pastor Phil unpacks what it truly means that God became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1), and why our response to that truth should shape every part of our lives.This sermon walks through the reason, reality, and response to the incarnation — reminding us that Jesus never ceased to be God, yet willingly took on humanity so He could fully understand our weakness, bear our sin, and offer grace upon grace. The incarnation sets Christianity apart from every other belief system and reveals a Savior who came not to demand sacrifice, but to be the sacrifice.---Sermon Notes:I. The reason for the incarnation.1) He came to reveal the light of His love.2) He was resisted by the people He came to save.3) He was accepted by those who received Him.II.
