Book excerpt: God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 This book is a cry from the heart of John Piper. He is pleading that God himself, as revealed in Christ's death and resurrection, is the ultimate and greatest gift of the gospel. None of Christ's gospel deeds and none of our gospel blessings are good news except as means of seeing and savoring the glory of Christ. Forgiveness is good news because it opens the way to the enjoyment of God himself. Justification is good news because it wins access to the presence and pleasures of God himself. Eternal life is good news because it becomes the everlasting enjoyment of Christ. All God's gifts are loving only to the degree that they lead us to God himself. That is what God's love is: his commitment to do everything necessary (most painfully the death of his only Son) to enthrall us with what is most deeply and durably satisfying-namely, himself. Saturated with Scripture, centered on the cross, and seriously joyful, this book leads us to satisfaction for the deep hungers of the soul. It touches us at the root of life where practical transformation gets its daily power. It awakens our longing for Christ and opens our eyes to his beauty. Piper writes for the soul-thirsty who have turned away empty and in desperation from the mirage of methodology. He invites us to slow down and drink from a deeper spring. "This is eternal life," Jesus said, "that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." This is what makes the gospel-and this book-good news.

Present Your Members as Instruments of Righteousness (Romans 6:12-19) The gospel of the water and the Spirit is God`s righteousness! The words in this book will satisfy the thirst in your heart. Today`s Christians continue to live while not knowing the true solution to the actual sins that they are committing daily. Do you know what God`s righteousness is? I hope that you will ask yourself this question and believe in God`s righteousness, which is revealed in this book. God`s righteousness has been with the gospel of the water and the Spirit. However, like a precious treasure, it has been kept hidden from the eyes of religious followers for a long time. As a result, many people came to rely on and boast of their own righteousness instead of believing in God`s righteousness. Therefore, Christian doctrines that don`t even make sense came to be dominant beliefs in the hearts of believers, as if these doctrines contained God`s righteousness. The Doctrines of Predestination, Justification, and Incremental Sanctification are the major Christian doctrines, which brought confusion and emptiness into the souls of believers. But now, many Christians should newly come to know God, learn about His righteousness and continue in the assured faith. "Our Lord who becomes the righteousness of God" will provide your soul with a great understanding and lead it to peace. The author wants you to possess the blessing of knowing God`s righteousness. May God`s blessing be with you! The New Life Mission https://www.bjnewlife.org
Download or read book Risk Is Right written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A choice lies before you: Either waste your life or live with risk. Either sit on the sidelines or get in the game. After all, life was no cakewalk for Jesus, and he didn't promise it would be any easier for his followers. We shouldn't be surprised by resistance and persecution. Yet most of us play it safe. We pursue comfort. We spend ourselves to get more stuff. And we prefer to be entertained. We are all tempted by the idea of security, the possibility of a cozy Christianity with no hell at the end. But what kind of life is that really? It's a far cry from adventurous and abundant, from truly rich and really full, and it's certainly not the heights and the depths Jesus calls us to. Discover in these pages a foundation for fearlessness. Hear God's promise to go with you into the unknown. And let Risk Is Right help you see the joys of a faith-filled and seriously rewarding life of Jesus-dependent abandon! Risk Is Right is a significantly expanded version of a chapter previously published in the book Don't Waste Your Life (chapter 5).

Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage

Greet One Another The righteousness of God is transparent and it is different from the righteousness of human beings. God`s righteousness is revealed in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, which was completed by the baptism of Jesus by John and His blood on the Cross. We must return to the faith in God`s righteousness before it is too late. Do you know why Jesus had to be baptized by John the Baptist? If John hadn`t baptized Jesus, our sins wouldn`t have been passed onto Him. John the Baptist was the greatest man of all, and the baptism that he gave to Jesus was the absolute requirement for God to pass our sins away from us and onto Jesus. Jesus was baptized to bear all the sins of the world on His shoulder, and bled on the Cross to pay their whole wages. All these things have completely changed my past understanding of what it is to be born again, when I knew only of the blood on the Cross. God has now taught you what His righteousness is so that we may fully know and believe in His righteousness. I thank the Lord for all these blessings. The New Life Mission https://www.bjnewlife.org
Download or read book The Gift of Righteousness written by David Gillespie and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 1988-07-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest story ever told is about how God loved the world so much that He gave Jesus to come and die in our place. Jesus Christ, God's Only Begotten Son, took our place on the cross so that we could have His place in the family of God. At this very moment, there are many who cry out for help, who cry out for love, who cry out for understanding. Some turn to world religions and the occult in an attempt to satisfy the God consciousness that is in the heart of all people. Some of God's own children slave under a yoke of bondage, not knowing that Jesus has set them free. The greatest story ever told is the one that tells of needed help - the solution to man's problems - the answers to man's great questions. That story is the simple message of Jesus Christ and Him crucified. It brings faith for salvation to the sinner, liberty to the captive, and abundant life for the believer. The simple Gospel of who Jesus is and what He did reveals the complete redemption purchased by His sacrifice and the free gift of righteousness. This book is about that "gift of Righteousness" - the right standing that has been bought and paid for by Jesus Christ and that is now offered from the heart of the Father God. It is not just about the force of righteousness or the reality of righteousness, but about the "gift" of righteousness.

Download or read book Christ Our Righteousness written by J. W. Lehman and published by . This book was released on 2014-01-24 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The loud cry of the third angel of Revelation 14:9 is the last message according to the book of Revelation. There will be no greater message sent from God than this precious truth-the message of Christ our righteousness. According to Revelation 18:1, this final message will lighten the earth with the glory (character) of God, bringing to a close God's final work upon the earth. This book presents a solid foundation for the various aspects of Christ our righteousness, comparing popular teachings on the subject with the Bible and the writings of Ellen G. White. It points out the importance of incorporating these principles into our own experience. When God's people truly take hold of this most encouraging and hopeful message, it will lead to genuine revival and reformation. Then God will pour out His Spirit and enable us to proclaim the Loud Cry of the Third Angel.
Download or read book The Lord Our Righteousness written by J.C. Ryle and published by Ravenio Books. This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great question to be made known is, “How shall man be just with God? How can I come before the Lord in innocence?” and I wish, if the Lord will, to make you understand: I. That you must have perfect righteousness—or you will not be saved. II. That you have no righteousness of your own of any sort, and therefore by yourself you cannot be saved. III. That the Lord Himself must be your Righteousness, and so you shall be saved. May God the Holy Spirit, who can convert the most aged, the most careless, the most sinful (I speak that which I do know myself), accompany the words I am about to speak, and make them seasonable to all your souls!
Download or read book Lessons for the Christian s Daily Walk written by George Mylne and published by Darolt Books. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lessons for the Christian's Daily Walk Devotional and Practical Meditations on the Book of Ecclesiastes George Mylne, 1859 Editor's note: This is the best devotional commentary on the book of Ecclesiastes that we have ever come across! In each verse which he comments on, George Mylne first views the verse just as Solomon intended from the perspective of mere human wisdom. That is, the book of Ecclesiastes is simply God's record of the rational conclusions of the wisest and most experienced man who ever lived. In other words, Solomon seriously thought upon all of life, the world and everything in it and concluded that all are puzzling enigmas, emptiness, vanity, meaningless, purposeless, futile, hopeless, vexatious, unsatisfying, unjust, etc., etc. Secondly, Mylne then views each verse from the Christian perspective that is, through the lens of the cross of Jesus. From this perspective, all the enigmas are solved, all the meaninglessness and futility of life is removed, and all the injustices are rectified. Only through the cross, does life become meaningful, purposeful and satisfying!

Download or read book The House of God written by Rev. John Peter Bodner and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-08-27 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meditate on these things . . . The discipline of meditating day and night in the Book of the Lord (Joshua 1; Psalm 1) is a costly art, hard won in any age--perhaps even more so in today's stressful times of multi-tasking ministry and cut-and-paste computing. First hand-written in black-and-red notebooks from scraps of paper, using only a King James Bible and a Strong's Concordance, The House of God records the spiritual exercise of a working pastor and itinerant preacher over eighteen months, the last six spent confined to hospital with injured legs. For pastors and students of the Gospel ministry, the book furnishes a three-year course for weekly private worship, complete with original hymns, select Bible readings, and intense devotional meditations on Paul's First Epistle to Timothy. The author prayerfully aims to nourish the inner man of the heart and to encourage the practice of Scripture meditation. May it prompt King Jesus' servants to heed their life and doctrine as people of God called to the house of God, the Church of the living God, the ground and pillar of the truth.
Download or read book God of All Things written by Andrew Wilson and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract theology is overrated, for God can be found in even the most ordinary of things. Jesus used things like a lily, sparrow, and sheep to teach about the kingdom of God. And in the Old Testament, God repeatedly describes himself and his saving work in relation to physical things such as a rock, horn, or eagle. In God of All Things, pastor and author Andrew Wilson invites you to rediscover God in this way, too--through ordinary, everyday things. He explores the idea of a material world and presents a variety of created marvels that reveal the gospel in everyday life and fuel worship and joy in God--marvels like: Dust: the image of God Horns: the salvation of God Donkeys: the peace of God Water: the life of God Viruses: the problem of God Cities: the kingdom of God God of All Things will leave you with a deeper understanding of Scripture, the world you live in, and the God who made it all.
