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
The only answer in these modern times, as in all other times, is the blood of Christ. When our conscience rises up and condemns us, where will we turn? We turn to Christ. We turn to the suffering and death of Christ—the blood of Christ. This is the only cleansing agent in the universe that can give the conscience relief in life and peace in death.
John Piper
Lives of faith are the great mirror of the dependability of God.
John Piper
Reading is more important to me than eating.
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
God aims to look valuable in the world, and that happens when we treasure him above all else.
John Piper
From eternity to eternity, the beauty of God is pervasive and practical. Ask him to open the eyes of your heart (Ephesians 1:18). Give your life to this quest - seeing and savoring more and more of the happifying beauty of God.
John Piper
Giving in a regular, disciplined, generous way-up to and beyond the tithe-is simply good sense in view of the promises of God.
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
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
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
When all your favorite preachers are gone, and all their books forgotten, you will have your Bible. Master it. MASTER IT!
John Piper
All of history is moving toward one great goal, the white-hot worship of God and His Son among all the peoples of the earth. Missions is not that goal. It is the means. And for that reason it is the second greatest human activity in the world.
John Piper
Will I find spiritual communion with God sweet enough, and hope in his promises deep enough, not just to cope, but to flourish and rejoice in him?
John Piper
Blind people don't decide to see. Jesus says, 'See!' and they see.
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
Worship is an inward feeling and outward action that reflects the worth of God.
John Piper
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
Grace is not simply leniency when we have sinned. Grace is the enabling gift of God not to sin. Grace is power, not just pardon.
John Piper
Don't marry so you can stop pursuing women. Marry so you can perfect the pursuit of ONE woman for a lifetime.
John Piper
O, God of wonder, enlarge my capacity to be amazed at what is amazing, and end my attraction to the insignificant.
John Piper
