More quotes by John Piper

Image
In our proud love affair with ourselves we pour contempt, whether we know it or not, on the worth of God's glory. As our pride pours contempt upon God's glory, His righteousness obliges Him to pour wrath upon our pride.
John Piper
Image
God took the record of all your sins-all your sexual failures-that made you a debtor to wrath, and instead of holding them up in front of your face and using them as the warrant to send you to hell, he put them in the palm of his Son’s hand and nailed them to the cross.
John Piper
Image
The deepest and most enduring happiness is found only in God. Not from God, but in God.
John Piper
Image
Seek to see and feel the gospel as bigger as years go by rather than smaller. Never let the gospel get smaller in your heart.
John Piper
Image
I measure Your love for me by the magnitude of the wrath I deserved, and the wonder of Your mercy by putting Christ in my place.
John Piper
Image
Missions is the overflow of our delight in God because missions is the overflow of God's delight in being God.
John Piper
Image
Worship is a way of gladly reflecting back to God the radiance of His worth.
John Piper
Image
When GOD is our deepest pleasure we display Him as our highest treasure.
John Piper
Image
The greatest act of freeing happened when Jesus died in our place and paid our debt.
John Piper
Image
Intensity is all that matters in painting.
John Piper
Image
Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. What was once foolishness to us—a crucified God—must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.
John Piper
Image
The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven it is a way to get people to God.
John Piper
Image
The most dangerous thing in the world is the sin of self-reliance and the stupor of worldliness.
John Piper
Image
Does Christ get a good reputation because of the way we live? Is the excellence of Christ displayed in our lives? That should matter to us, not whether we ourselves are praised.
John Piper
Image
Grace is power, not just pardon.
John Piper
Image
I have tried to devote my life - with all my husband failures, father failures, pastor failures, friend failures, any other possible failures I'm sure I've done them - to the God-centeredness of God and my aspiring, yearning to join Him in that activity. God is passionate about hallowing the name of God.
John Piper
Image
The highest act of love is the giving of the best gift, and, if necessary, at the greatest cost, to the least deserving. That's what God did. At the loss of His Son's life to the totally undeserving, God gave the best gift - the display of the glory of Christ who is the image of God.
John Piper
Image
O, God of wonder, enlarge my capacity to be amazed at what is amazing, and end my attraction to the insignificant.
John Piper
Image
I know of no other way to triumph over sin long-term than to gain a distaste for it because of a superior satisfaction in God.
John Piper
Image
The goal of missions is the gladness of the peoples in the greatness of God.
