John Piper Quotes About Hell

Quotes about: Hell

• It is evil to justify killing (unborn babies) by the happy outcome of eternity for the one killed. This same justification could be used to justify killing one-year olds, or any heaven-bound believer for that matter. The Bible asks the question: "Shall we sin that grace may abound?" (Romans 6:1) And: "Shall we do evil that good may come?" (Romans 3:8). In both cases the answer is a resounding NO. It is presumption to step into God's place and try to make the assignments to heaven or to hell. Our duty is to obey God, not to play God.

  John Piper

  Baby, Years, Play

• Fight for us, O God, that we not drift numb and blind and foolish into vain and empty excitements. Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst. Heaven is too great, hell is too horrible, eternity is too long that we should putter around on the porch of eternity.

  John Piper

  Life Is Too Short, Fighting, Long

• He shook my dozing soul and threw the cold water of reality in my face, so that life and God and heaven and hell broke into my world with glory and horror. (on CS Lewis)

  John Piper

  Reality, Water, Heaven

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

  People, Needs, Looks

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

• God took the record of all your sins-all your sexual failures-that made you a debtor to wrath, and instead of holding them up in front of your face and using them as the warrant to send you to hell, he put them in the palm of his Son’s hand and nailed them to the cross.

  John Piper

  Son, Hands, Wrath

• When the heart no longer feels the truth of hell, the gospel passes from good news to simply news

  John Piper

  Heart, News, Hell
