50 Glory quotes by John Piper

All Glory quotes John Piper’s page

John Piper writes that love is doing what will enthrall the beloved with the greatest joy, which is the glory of God. He says the gospel’s main purpose is to show God’s glory, and without a deep zeal for that glory our actions become shallow. He warns that ignoring the cross’s glory wastes life, and that true treasure is found in God’s display, not money.
