More quotes by John Piper
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.
John Piper
The point is not that the resurrection is the price paid for our sins. The point point is that the resurrection proves the death of Jesus is an all-sufficient price. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, then his death was a failure, God did not vindicate his sin-bearing achievement, and we are still in our sins.
John Piper
All that looks like reality to us is dependent on God. There is creation and Creator, nothing more. And creation gets all its meaning and purpose from God.
John Piper
Ignatius, when he heard the clock strike, would say, Now I have another hour to answer for. (Eph. 5:16)
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
So saving grace, converting grace, for Augustine, is God's giving us a sovereign joy in God that triumphs over all other joys and therefore sways the will. The will is free to move toward whatever it delights in most fully, but it is not within the power of our will to determine what that sovereign joy will be.
John Piper
There is a war going on. All talk of a Christian's right to live luxuriously as a child of the King in this atmosphere sounds hollow - especially since the King himself is stripped for battle.
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
Adjust your doctrine - or just minimize doctrine - to attract the world, and in the very process of attracting them, lose the radical truth that alone can set them free.
John Piper
The right creative act makes its own laws, and always will do.
John Piper
Many people are willing to be God-centered as long as they feel that God is man-centered
John Piper
For the mind of faith, a promised act of God is as good as done.
John Piper
The ultimate purpose of life is to show that Jesus is more precious than life.
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
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
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
In all the setbacks of your life as a believer, God is plotting for your joy.
John Piper
Wimpy worldviews make wimpy Christians. And wimpy Christians won’t survive the days ahead.
John Piper
If we have no zeal for the glory of God our mercy must be superficial, man-centred human improvement with no eternal significance. And if our zeal for the glory of God is not a revelling in his mercy, than our so-called zeal, in spite of all its protests, is our of touch with God and hypocritical.
John Piper
Where feelings for God are dead, worship is dead.
John Piper
