Desire that your life count for something great! Long for your life to have eternal significance. Want this! Donโt coast through life without a passion.
John PiperChrist did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God. And people who would be happy in heaven if Christ were not there, will not be there. The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven; it is a way to get people to God. It's a way of overcoming every obstacle to everlasting joy in God. If we don't want God above all things, we have not been converted by the gospel.
John PiperIf you live gladly to make others glad in God, your life will be hard, your risks will be high, and your joy will be full.
John Piper
