If at the cross every sin was covered, Satan's mouth is shut. He has no weapon. He can gum you but his fangs are gone.

More quotes by John Piper
Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst
John Piper
Faith is born and sustained by the Word of God, and out of faith grows the flower of joy.
John Piper
We give glory to God when we trust him to do what he has promised to do-especially when all human possibilities are exhausted. Faith glorifies God. That is why God planned for faith to be the way we are justified.
John Piper
Our obedience is God's pleasure when it proves that God is our treasure.
John Piper
So, you have three possibilities in world missions. You can be a goer, a sender, or disobedient. The Bible does not assume that everyone goes. But it does assume that the ones who do not go care about goers and support goers and pray for goers and hold the rope of the goers.
John Piper
God seldom calls us for an easier life, but always calls us to know more of him and drink more deeply of His sustaining grace.
John Piper
God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
John Piper
Evangelicals are distraught over the state of America because they have not been taught that we're aliens here.
John Piper
Too many Christians are fighting graduate school sins with a grammar school knowledge of God.
John Piper
Now unto him who is able to strengthen you … be glory.
John Piper
One of the most important discoveries I have ever made is this truth: God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in him. This is the motor that drives my ministry as a pastor. It affects everything I do.
John Piper
Sin is what you do when you are not satisfied in God.
John Piper
O that we would so love the gospel and have so much compassion for lost people that tribulation and distress and persecution and famine and nakedness and danger and sword and gun and terrorist would turn us not into fearful complainers, but bold heralds of good news.
John Piper
We do not choose suffering simply because we are told to, but because the one who tells us to describes it as the path to everlasting joy.
John Piper
The key to Christian living is a thirst and hunger for God. And one of the main reasons people do not understand or experience the sovereignty of grace and the way it works through the awakening of sovereign joy is that their hunger and thirst for God is so small.
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
In demanding our praise God is demanding the completion of our pleasure (in him).
John Piper
Marriage is not mainly about being or staying in love. It’s mainly about telling the truth with our lives. It’s about portraying something true about Jesus Christ and the way He relates to his people. It is about showing in real life the glory of the gospel.
John Piper
Worship is a way of gladly reflecting back to God the radiance of his worth. This cannot be done by mere acts of duty. It can be done only when spontaneous affections arise in the heart.
John Piper
The best news of the Christian gospel is that the supremely glorious Creator of the universe has acted in Jesus Christ's death and resurrection to remove every obstacle between us and himself so that we may find everlasting joy in seeing and savoring his infinite beauty.
John Piper
