John Piper Quotes About Excellence

Quotes about: Excellence

• God created me—and you—to live with a single, all-embracing, all-transforming passion—namely, a passion to glorify God by enjoying and displaying his supreme excellence in all the spheres of life.

  John Piper

  Powerful, Inspiration, Passion

• Does Christ get a good reputation because of the way we live? Is the excellence of Christ displayed in our lives? That should matter to us, not whether we ourselves are praised.

  John Piper

  Excellence, Doe, Matter

  John Piper (2009). “Life as a Vapor: Thirty-One Meditations for Your Faith”, p.15, Multnomah

• God created us to live with a single passion: to joyfully display his supreme excellence in all spheres of life. The wasted life is the life without this passion. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and work, not to be made much of, but to make much of him in every part of our lives.

  John Piper (2003). “Don't Waste Your Life”, Crossway

• All the different ways God has chosen to display his glory in creation and redemption seem to reach their culmination in the praises of his redeemed people. God governs the world with glory precisely that he might be admired, marvelled at, exalted and praised. The climax of his happiness is the delight he takes in the echoes of his excellence in the praises of the saints.
