John Piper Quotes About Giving

  Giving, Grace, Delight

• El mayor acto de amor es dar el mejor regalo, y, si es necesario, al mayor coste, al que menos lo merece. Eso es lo que hizo Dios. Con la pérdida de la vida de su Hijo, a quien no lo merecía en absoluto, Dios le hizo el mejor regalo: la manifestación de la gloria de Cristo, que es la imagen de Dios.

• God has given us prayer as a wartime walkie-talkie so that we can call headquarters for everything we need as the kingdom of Christ advances in the world. Prayer gives us the significance of front-line forces, and gives God the glory of a limitless Provider. The one who gives the power gets the glory. Thus prayer safeguards the supremacy of God in missions while linking us with endless grace for every need.

• We can say that true gratitude does not give rise to the debtor's ethic because it gives rise to faith in future grace. With true gratitude there is such a delight in the worth of God's past grace, that we are driven on to experience more and more of it in the future...it is done by transforming gratitude into faith as it turns from contemplating the pleasures of past grace and starts contemplating the promises of the future.

  John Piper

  Gratitude, Past, Giving

• Taken as a whole, the story of Ruth is one of those signs. It was written to give us encouragement and hope that all the perplexing turns in our lives are going somewhere good. They do not lead off a cliff. In all the setbacks of our lives as believers, God is plotting for our joy.

  Encouragement, Taken, Giving

• Podemos contentarnos con la sencillez porque los placeres más profundos y satisfactorios que Dios nos da a través de la creación son regalos gratuitos de la naturaleza y de las relaciones afectuosas con las personas. Una vez satisfechas las necesidades básicas, el dinero acumulado empieza a disminuir la capacidad de disfrutar de estos placeres, en lugar de aumentarla. Comprar cosas no contribuye en absoluto a la capacidad de gozo del corazón.

• John's baptism...was a radical act of individual commitment to belong to the true people of God, based on personal confession and repentance... This is one of the main reasons that I do not believe in baptizing infants, who cannot make this personal commitment or confession or repentance. John's baptism was an assault on the very assumptions that give rise to much infant baptism.

The will is free to move toward whatever it delights in most fully, but it is not within the power of our will to determine what that sovereign joy will be.

  John Piper

• La única respuesta en estos tiempos modernos, como en todos los demás tiempos, es la sangre de Cristo. Cuando nuestra conciencia se levanta y nos condena, ¿a dónde acudimos? A Cristo. Nos volvemos al sufrimiento y a la muerte de Cristo, a la sangre de Cristo. Este es el único agente purificador en el universo que puede dar a la conciencia alivio en la vida y paz en la muerte.
