Christ is glorified in you when he is more precious to you than all that life can give or death can take.
John PiperA Christian is not a person who believes in his head the teachings of the Bible. Satan believes in his head the teachings of the Bible! A Christian is a person who has died with Christ, whose stiff neck has been broken, whose brazen forehead has been shattered, whose stony heart has been crushed, whose pride has been slain, and whose life is now mastered by Jesus Christ.
John PiperDesire 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 PiperGod is love precisely because He relentlessly pursues the praises of His name in the hearts of His people.
John PiperMarriage. The roots are deep. The covenant is solid. The love is sweet. Life is hard. And God is good.
John PiperLove is doing what will enthrall the beloved with the greatest and longest joy. What will enthrall the beloved this way is the glory of God. Love means doing all we can, at whatever cost to ourselves, to help people be enthralled with the glory of God. When they are, they are satisfied and God is glorified. Therefore loving people and glorifying God are one.
John Piper
