John Piper quotes

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. (John Piper)
The wisdom of God devised a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God while not compromising the righteousness of God. View quote
John Piper
The 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. View quote
John Piper
Woe to us if we get our satisfaction from the food in the kitchen and the TV in the den and the sex in the bedroom with an occasional tribute to the cement blocks in the basement! View quote
John Piper
Redemption is not perfection. The redeemed must realize their imperfections. View quote
John Piper
My joy grows with every soul that seeks the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Remember, you have one life. That's all. You were made for God. Don't waste it. View quote
John Piper
Christ did not die to make good works merely possible or to produce a half-hearted pursuit. He died to produce in us a passion for good deeds. Christian purity is not the mere avoidance of evil, but the pursuit of good. View quote
John Piper
America is the first culture in jeopardy of amusing itself to death. View quote
John Piper
Every good thing in the Christian life grows in the soil of humility. Without humility, every virtue and every grace withers. That's why Calvin said humility is first, second, and third in the Christian faith. View quote
John Piper
God created me-and you-to live with a single, all-embracing, all-transforming passion-namely, a passion to glorify God by enjoying and displaying his supreme excellence in all the spheres of life. View quote
John Piper
God without Christ is no God. (John Piper)
You get one pass at life. That's all. Only one. And the lasting measure of that life is Jesus Christ. View quote
John Piper
Don't be surprised. There is nothing new under the sun. Only endless repackagings. View quote
John Piper
We are not as Christ-centered and cross-cherishing as we should be, because we do not ponder the truth that everything good, and everything bad that God turns for the good, was purchased by the sufferings of Christ. View quote
John Piper
All of history is moving toward one great goal, the white-hot worship of God and His Son among all the peoples of the earth. Missions is not that goal. It is the means. And for that reason it is the second greatest human activity in the world. View quote
John Piper
If you alter or obscure the Biblical portrait of God in order to attract converts, you don't get converts to God, you get converts to an illusion. This is not evangelism, but deception. View quote
John Piper
Your mind was made to know and love God. View quote
John Piper
God seldom calls us for an easier life, but always calls us to know more of him and drink more deeply of His sustaining grace. View quote
John Piper
Death is like my car. It takes me where I want to go. View quote
John Piper
Do you feel loved by God because you believe he makes much of you, or because you believe he frees you and empowers you to enjoy making much of him? View quote
John Piper
The strength of patience hangs on our capacity to believe that God is up to something good for us in all our delays and detours. (John Piper)
It is better to lose your life than to waste it. View quote
John Piper
All heroes are shadows of Christ. View quote
John Piper
It is about the greatness of God, not the significance of man. God made man small and the universe big to say something about himself. View quote
John Piper
Books don't change people; paragraphs do; sometimes even sentences. View quote
