To see Him and know Him and be in His presence is the soul’s final feast. Beyond this there is no quest. Words fail. We call it pleasure, joy, delight. But these are weak pointers to the unspeakable experience.

More quotes by John Piper
The essence of faith is being satisfied with all that God is for us in Jesus.
John Piper
The abortion industry kills as many Black people every four days as the Klan killed in 150 years.
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.
John Piper
Not grace to bar what is not bliss, Nor flight from all distress, but this: The grace that orders our trouble and pain, And then, in the darkness, is there to sustain.
John Piper
Every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God.
John Piper
Zeal for the glory of God motivates world missions
John Piper
God aims to exalt Himself by working for those who wait for Him.
John Piper
Missions is the overflow of our delight in God because missions is the overflow of God's delight in being God.
John Piper
One accurate way to describe abortion is subtle infanticide. That is: child-killing done in a way that the people don't recognize it as child-killing. That reality is why the word abortion exists. Some words are created to cloak reality the same way procedures are created to cloak reality. Abortion is cloaked child-killing
John Piper
If you remove enjoyment of God from faith in God, it ceases to be faith.
John Piper
We need God in ways we do not know. Don't limit your experience of God to what you can think to ask. Ask for the unknown joy.
John Piper
God is not worn out running the galaxy. He’s not taxed at all guiding every dust particle all the time.
John Piper
We will wait. We will wait till all is made righteous (glorious) according to the word of God.
John Piper
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
Sin carries in it its own misery.
John Piper
God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
John Piper
In all the setbacks of your life as a believer, God is plotting for your joy.
John Piper
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
Pastors and missionaries (need) to know God and to find in him a Treasure more satisfying than any other person or thing or relationship or experience or accomplishment in the world.
John Piper
Desire that your life count for something great! Long for your life to have eternal significance. Want this! Don’t coast through life without a passion.
John Piper
