O, God of wonder, enlarge my capacity to be amazed at what is amazing, and end my attraction to the insignificant.
John PiperWhen I believe in Jesus, I am united to Christ. Therefore, what he did and achieved becomes mine by this union through faith alone. His righteous life is imputed to me. What Christ achieved is counted as mine.
John PiperParadise will not be a hall of mirrors, it will be a display of majesty, and it won't be ours
John PiperOur deeds are not the basis of our salvation, they are the evidence of our salvation. They are not foundation, they are demonstration.
John PiperThe ultimate difference between God's wisdom and man's wisdom is how they relate to the glory of God's grace in Christ crucified. God's wisdom makes the glory of God's grace our supreme treasure. But man's wisdom delights in seeing himself as resourceful, self-sufficient, self determining, and not utterly dependent on God's free grace.
John Piper
