“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.”
― John Piper, Don't Waste Your Life

“Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God. And people who would be happy in heaven if Christ were not there, will not be there. The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven; it is a way to get people to God. It's a way of overcoming every obstacle to everlasting joy in God. If we don't want God above all things, we have not been converted by the gospel.”
― John Piper, God Is the Gospel: Meditations on God's Love as the Gift of Himself

“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, Battling Unbelief: Defeating Sin with Superior Pleasure

“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?”
― John Piper
