You can't make yourself saved. This is very threatening to people, even Christians, because of what it seems to say about freedom.
John PiperWe will wait. We will wait till all is made righteous (glorious) according to the word of God.
John PiperGod is pursuing with omnipotent passion a worldwide purpose of gathering joyful worshipers for Himself from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. He has an inexhaustible enthusiasm for the supremacy of His name among the nations. Therefore, let us bring our affections into line with His, and, for the sake of His name, let us renounce the quest for worldly comforts and join His global purpose.
John Piper
