John Piper Quotes About Grace

• La gracia es el placer de Dios de magnificar el valor de Dios dando a los pecadores el derecho y el poder de deleitarse en Dios sin oscurecer la gloria de Dios.

  John Piper

  Giving, Grace, Delight

  John Piper (2012). “The Pleasures of God: Meditations on God's Delight in Being God”, p.196, Multnomah

• La gracia no es simplemente indulgencia cuando hemos pecado. La gracia es el don capacitador de Dios para no pecar. La gracia es poder, no sólo perdón.

  John Piper

  Gracia, Habilitación, Pecado

• ¿Qué es el pecado? Es la gloria de Dios no honrada. La santidad de Dios no reverenciada. La grandeza de Dios no admirada. No alabar el poder de Dios. No buscar la verdad de Dios. No se estima la sabiduría de Dios. No se atesora la belleza de Dios. No se saborea la bondad de Dios. No se confía en la fidelidad de Dios. No se obedecen los mandamientos de Dios. No se respeta la justicia de Dios. La ira de Dios no temida. No se aprecia la gracia de Dios. No se aprecia la presencia de Dios. La persona de Dios no amada. Eso es el pecado.

  John Piper

  Grandeza, Ira, Justicia De Dios

• La clave de la vida cristiana es la sed y el hambre de Dios. Y una de las principales razones por las que la gente no entiende o experimenta la soberanía de la gracia y la forma en que actúa a través del despertar de la alegría soberana es que su hambre y sed de Dios son muy pequeñas.

  John Piper

  Christian, Keys, People

• El amor es el desbordamiento de la alegría en Dios. No es el deber por el deber, ni el bien por el bien. No es un decidido abandono del propio bien con la única mira puesta en el bien del otro. Es primero una experiencia profundamente satisfactoria de la plenitud de la gracia de Dios, y luego una experiencia doblemente satisfactoria de compartir esa gracia con otra persona.

  John Piper

  Love Is, Views, Joy

  John Piper (2011). “Desiring God, Revised Edition: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist”, p.120, Multnomah

• Todo lo bueno de la vida cristiana crece en el suelo de la humildad. Sin humildad, toda virtud y toda gracia se marchitan. Por eso Calvino dijo que la humildad es lo primero, lo segundo y lo tercero en la fe cristiana.

  John Piper

  Cristiano, Humildad, Gracia

• I will not waste my life! I will finish my course and finish it well. I will display the Gospel of the grace of God in all I do. I will run my race to the end.” - Paul

  John Piper

  Running, Race, Waste

• 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.

  John Piper

  Prayer, Giving, Grace

  John Piper (2010). "¡Alégrense las naciones! The Supremacy of God in Missions", p.65, Baker Academic

• The deepest need that you and I have in weakness and adversity is not quick relief, but the well-grounded confidence that what is happening to us is part of the greatest purpose of God in the universe - the glorification of the grace and power of his Son - the grace and power that bore Him to the cross and kept him there until the work of love was done.

  John Piper

  Adversity, Son, Grace

• 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

• Es malvado justificar el asesinato (de bebés no nacidos) por el feliz resultado de la eternidad para el asesinado. Esta misma justificación podría utilizarse para justificar el asesinato de niños de un año, o de cualquier creyente que vaya al cielo. La Biblia hace la pregunta: "¿Pecaremos para que abunde la gracia?". (Romanos 6:1) Y: "¿Haremos el mal para que venga el bien?" (Romanos 3:8). En ambos casos la respuesta es un rotundo NO. Es presunción ponerse en el lugar de Dios y tratar de hacer las asignaciones al cielo o al infierno. Nuestro deber es obedecer a Dios, no jugar a ser Dios.

  John Piper

  Bebé, Años, Jugar

• The ultimate difference between God's wisdom and man's wisdom is how they relate to the glory of God's grace in Christ crucified. God's wisdom makes the glory of God's grace our supreme treasure. But man's wisdom delights in seeing himself as resourceful, self-sufficient, self determining, and not utterly dependent on God's free grace.

  John Piper

  Men, Self, Differences

• Dios rara vez nos llama a una vida más fácil, sino que siempre nos llama a conocerle más y a beber más profundamente de su gracia sustentadora.

  John Piper

• God has ordained that our preaching become deeper and more winsome as we are broken, humbled, and made low and desperately dependent on grace by the trials of our lives.

  John Piper

• Feeling loved by God means feeling glad not only that He crushed His Son so that I can be forgiven, but that He's crushing everything that takes away from my praising of the glory of His grace.

• So saving grace, converting grace, for Augustine, is God's giving us a sovereign joy in God that triumphs over all other joys and therefore sways the will. 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

  Conmover, Dar, Alegría

• The infinite reservoir of future grace is flowing back through the present into the ever-growing pool of past grace. The inexhaustible reservoir is invisible except through the promises. But the ever-enlarging pool of past grace is visible; and God means for the certainty and beauty and depth to strengthen our faith in future grace.

  John Piper

  Mean, Past, Grace

  John Piper (2012). “Future Grace, Revised Edition: The Purifying Power of the Promises of God”, p.100, Multnomah

• Obedience does not consist in paying God back and thus turning grace into a trade. Obedience comes from trusting in God for more grace - future grace - and thus magnifying the infinite resources of God's love and power.

  John Piper

  Grace, Doe, Trust In God

  John Piper (2009). “A Godward Life: Savoring the Supremacy of God in All of Life”, p.37, Multnomah

• To love God does not mean to meet His needs, but rather to delight in Him and to be captivated by His glorious power and grace, and to value Him above all other things on earth. All the rest of the commandments are the kinds of things that we will do from our hearts, if our hearts are truly delighted with and resting in the glory of God's grace.

  Heart, Mean, Grace
