Isn't it ironic that today people say, 'If you know the love of God, you don't have to worry when you go on in sin.' But the apostle John said, 'If you know the love of God, you won't be able to go on in sin.'

More quotes by John Piper
Preaching is the pastor's main work, and preaching is heart work, not just mental work.
John Piper
Christians belive in a sovereign God who never says Oops. We believe that all our days ... are divine strokes on the canvas of our lives by the Master Artist who certified his skill, his power, and his love in the Masterpiece of Calvary. If you doubt His skill in painting your life - look at the Calvary
John Piper
Life is precarious, and life is precious. Don't presume you will have it tomorrow, and don't waste it today.
John Piper
The line of lovelessness is not drawn between speaking and doing, but between speaking and doing in the truth, and speaking and doing in emptiness. Truth turns word-love into deed-love.
John Piper
Faith is born and sustained by the Word of God, and out of faith grows the flower of joy.
John Piper
We weren't meant to be somebody--we were meant to know Somebody
John Piper
Grace is power, not just pardon.
John Piper
It is unbiblical and arrogant to try to worship God for any other reason than the pleasure to be had in Him.
John Piper
Worship is a way of gladly reflecting back to God the radiance of His worth.
John Piper
Without extended, concentrated prayer, the ministry of the Word withers. And when the ministry of the Word declines, faith (Rom. 10:17 Gal. 3:2, 5) and holiness (John 17:17) decline. Activity may continue, but life and power and fruitfulness fade away. Therefore, whatever opposes prayer opposes the whole work of ministry.
John Piper
Headship is the divine calling of a husband to take primary responsibility for Christlike, servant leadership, protection, and provision in the home.
John Piper
Our obedience is God's pleasure when it proves that God is our treasure.
John Piper
The wonder of marriage is woven into the wonder of the gospel of the cross of Christ, and the message of the cross is foolishness to the natural man, and so the meaning of marriage is foolishness to the natural man.
John Piper
The Gospel is not how people get to heaven. The Gospel is how people get to God.
John Piper
We ought not speak too long about God with our minds before we turn and speak to God from our heart. We must stir a lot of prayer into the stew of our theology.
John Piper
Every good thing in the Christian life grows in the soil of humility. Without humility, every virtue and every grace withers. That’s why Calvin said humility is first, second, and third in the Christian faith.
John Piper
Journaling is a way to be a good steward of the Spirit's illuminations.
John Piper
The offspring of the woman, Jesus Christ, came into the world to save women who have dethroned God, taken His place, defined personhood as tissue, and willed the death of their own child. It can't be reversed, but it can be forgiven. That is why Christ died.
John Piper
Every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God.
John Piper
People are not prepared or able to rejoice in suffering unless they experience a massive biblical revolution of how they think and feel about the meaning of life. Human nature and American culture make it impossible to rejoice in suffering. This is a miracle in the human soul wrought by God through His Word.
