CHRISTIAN LIVING MOVES from what God has freely done for us in Christ to what we should freely do for others.
John PiperThe 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 PiperDo all things without grumbling. Why? You have a sovereign God who is on your side, who works everything together for your good.
John PiperThis is the centre of the gospel - this is what the Garden of Gethsemane and Good Friday are all about - that God has done astonishing and costly things to draw us near.
