John Piper Quotes About Purpose

• It was becoming clearer and clearer that if I wanted to come to the end of my life and not say, “I’ve wasted it!” then I would need to press all the way in, and all the way up, to the ultimate purpose of God and join him in it. If my life was to have a single, all-satisfying, unifying passion, it would have to be God’s passion.

• La vida no es una línea recta que conduce de una bendición a otra y finalmente al cielo. La vida es un camino sinuoso y turbulento. Una curva tras otra. Y el objetivo de historias bíblicas como las de José, Job, Ester y Rut es ayudarnos a sentir en nuestros huesos (y no sólo en nuestras cabezas) que Dios está con nosotros en todas esas extrañas curvas. Dios no se limita a aparecer después de los problemas y solucionarlos. Él está trazando el curso y manejando los problemas con propósitos de largo alcance para nuestro bien y para la gloria de Jesucristo.

• Por tanto, la pregunta principal no es qué seres humanos provocaron la muerte de Jesús, sino qué provocó la muerte de Jesús para los seres humanos, incluidos judíos, musulmanes, budistas, hindúes y laicos no religiosos, y para todas las personas del mundo. Al fin y al cabo, la pregunta más importante es: ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué sufrió y murió Cristo? No en el sentido de causa, sino en el sentido de propósito.

• 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.

• God is pursuing with omnipotent passion a worldwide purpose of gathering joyful worshipers for Himself from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. He has an inexhaustible enthusiasm for the supremacy of His name among the nations.

• The suffering of sickness and the suffering of persecution have this in common: they are both intended by Satan for the destruction of our faith, and governed by God for the purifying of our faith... Christ sovereignly accomplishes His loving, purifying purpose, by overruling Satan's destructive attempts. Satan is always aiming to destroy our faith; but Christ magnifies His power in weakness.

• 'Worship' is the term we use to cover all the acts of the heart and mind and body that intentionally express the infinite worth of God. This is what we were created for, as God says in Isaiah 43:7, Everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory. That means that we were all created for the purpose of expressing the infinite worth of God's glory. We were created to worship.
