John Piper sent out a series of twitter tweets over the past few days...and they were profound. Here are all of them.
Why #1: Why does God tell us that his love in adopting us is "for the praise of the glory of his grace"? (Ephesians 1:5-6)
Why #2: Why does God tell us that his love in creating us is "for his glory"? (Isaiah 43:7)
Why #3: Why does God tell us his incarnation love was "so that the gentiles would glorify God for his mercy"? (Rom. 15:8-9)
Why #4: Why does God tell us that Christ's love in dying for our sake is so that we might live for his sake? (2 Cor. 5:15)
Why #5: Why does God tell us that the aim of his love for us in spreading the gospel is for the sake of his name"? (Rom. 1:5)
Why #6: Why does God tell us that his love in sanctifying us is "to the glory and praise of God"? (Philippians 1:11)
Why #7: Why does God tell us that the aim of Christ's love in the 2nd coming is “to be glorified in his saints"? (2 Thess. 1:10)
Why #8: Why is the apex of Jesus' love, in his prayer for us, the request that we would "see his glory”? (John 17:24)
Answer: Because you are precious to God, and he adds this gift: He will not let that preciousness become your God. Only Him.
