John PiperGrace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God.
John PiperGod created meโand youโto live with a single, all-embracing, all-transforming passionโnamely, a passion to glorify God by enjoying and displaying his supreme excellence in all the spheres of life.
