John Piper Explores the Ultimate Source and Object of Pleasure, Satisfaction, and Lasting Joy
"God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him." This simple but powerful statement has been a cornerstone of John Piper's ministry for nearly 40 years. Laying out the principles behind this "Christian Hedonism" Desiring God has proved to be a source of rich theological insight for countless people through the years, guiding them to the fullness of joy found in Christ.
In this foundational work, John Piper addresses profound questions about the purpose of life and the human pursuit of pleasure. Drawing wisdom from Scripture and insights from church history, Piper challenges the belief that believers must sacrifice joy in order to please God. Instead, finding delight in God does not diminish his glory; rather, it magnifies it and fulfills the deepest desires of our souls.
- Explains Christian Hedonism: Human life should be a pursuit of godly pleasure
- Written by John Piper: Desiring God, first published in 1986, became a cornerstone of Piper's teaching and ministry
- Wise Theological Insights: Delves into Piper's famous statement that "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him
To say that God is MOST glorified by something a vile half hearted sinner can produce is at best, overstating the point.
when we see his son in full glory having been slaughtered for the unsatisfied and ungrateful, the real question is, can you truely be sufficiently satisfied with him in this life that will be worth a mention on the last day,
after your 60 years how satisfied are John? what would you rate yourself,
1%
50%?
90%
I'd say less than 1%
what ever it is, do you think God will point to it as something that brought him MOST glory from you?
or will you most glorify him through your your continuing dissatisfaction, that his son died for and will be most glorified by it.
BUT i believe
1. if you have no satisfaction in Christ you're not a christian
2. when we've been there 10000 years bright shining as the sun... your statement surly true
