Scripture alone!
God will reveal His glory through reading His Holy Word 📖☝️🙏
I love, love, love the Bible. I love John Piper's enthusiasm for the Bible as it is similar to my own. we are so blessed that our Father wrote us a manual for our total understanding of who He is, what is expected of us to have a lasting loving relationship with Him and others, and how to live in the right way, a way that will glorify Him the most. When I read the Bible throughout, I discovered my love for the Lord and that I wanted to have a friendship with Him forever. This is wonderful. Read the Bible (in it's entirity) and you'll never be without a friend!
I have hunger for the bible but I want to LOVE it like you seem to do
@ Mike Hill
Keep on reading it and seeing how beautiful Jesus is, and ask him for that love! Such a thing delights His heart. And remember, it is He who has given you this desire in the first place!
Mike Hill keep reading, and praying for God to fill you with love for His Word, and to fill you with The Holy Spirit, and understanding, you will get there, but first, are you saved? Meaning read the Word of Jesus and apply them to your life, devouted to Christ, even if it costs you everything even your life, and hold fast to Christ, and love God
It's so refreshing when you do. The Bible is the only book that can change your entire life. Say what you will, and there are great Christian books out there allowing you to grow, but the Bible has everything you need. That book allowed me to prune friends, quit drinking, release lustful images I had on my phone, treat people better. Everything is in there and it's a rejuvenating read. Even in doubtful seasons.
Amen.
Read it every day please !! It’s a blessing
"Faith comes by hearing and hearing through or by the word of God."
Study the bible is very important in our life . Amen God
I am really in love with Bible ....
Deepa Rawat ♡Amén!
Deepa Rawat why?
I'm God
Deepa loves the bible because its a chance to feel special and watch enemies thrown into eternal suffering.
Brad Crampton I'm sure her reason is more than that. We Christians love the Bible, as it shows we are sinners unworthy of God's love but that we are Loved and forgiven by the blood of Christ! Not at all because we see that enemies will receive their due recompense.
Although I’m not a Calvinist, I cherish this man’s preaching and love for the Bible!
same bro!
I was born again after watching the Jesus of Nazareth movie! The Holy Spirit showed me the glory of Christ through that movie :)
Jesus is God Amen! Thank you so much glory to Him and Him alone :)
I was born again after hurricane harvey hit here in houston, i'll never forget that day when i felt the love of jesus christ touching my heart, love that isnt from this world, praise the lord.
Arnold David Fernandez Thats what im lacking Ive not felt that love yet but I want to I want to know Him intimitely like that
God just gives you a taste of his love intensely at the beginning of your relationship with him, he let's himself be known by touching your heart, we are going to get that amount of love when the day comes that we are going to be with him, but god still gives love because I pray for it everyday but not like the amount I felt at the beginning of my relationship with him, if only I could feel his love intensely everyday.
Arnold David Fernandez Yea I know what you mean! The day after I was saved I was at peace and hungry and when I sang hymns at Church I had tears of joy but now I feel like im my old self again except for the fact I now hate sin and long for that closeness with Him again
John Piper one of the best..Glory to God!
Jesus is Lord foreal he is ome of few people that i hear. the way he express the bible woth passion what a good man he is. he will surley be blessed by god when he is in heaven.
So thankful we can listen to this!
Amen..I enjoy my morning devotionals in the Word and on my Knees.
If you were born a son of god of your parents then stand up and enjoy the rights of son ship as one of Royal ones of God without having to confess, repent, or believe, or have faith, and you will never need the grace of the gentile Jew Jesus Christ who died and went to hell and he is not coming back anytime soon
thats your opinion. dont push it on others. live and let live I say
I love you Pastor Piper! You are a blessing from God. The Lord truly uses your life so wonderfully. May He give you a long life that many more may hear about Jesus ! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽 I AM GLAD TO KNOW THAT WHEN THE TIME COMES THAT WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER IN THE PRESENCE OF OUR SAVIOR.
Praying to God that we continue to hear the heart of God in a message like this. Awesome message.
Truly when I first believed was when the pastor of our church was breaking down the Beatitudes for us. Like the snap of a finger, God revealed part of Himself to me.
Thanks Pastor John. You are indeed a blessing to the Lord's church.... ☺
All believers must read some of the Word, out loud, day and night, daily. There is no other way.
yes! out loud!
Out loud?
AMEN, thanks for this sermon. Thanks also be to God who use John Piper....
Thank God for his word!!
a For me.If I start every morning in the word,I get transformed from the carnal mindset which is at war with God,and get spiritually minded quick.I don't think that there is anyone that can't stand this money, money world than me.It won't be missed. ☺
Piper was among the few who have changed my life. The good Lord made me find this great follower of Christ.
I am trying to be saved everyday. Because of jesus' blood. God is most grorified In me when I am most satisfied in him. The people need to discover the reasons to worship God on their life
Reading the Bible we heal our soul !!!
thank you your teaching is refreshing
This man has vary good insight.
God is useing him in a big way to help people understand the word of God.
May he be Blessed all the days!
And I say thank you Jesus for sending men like him!
Amen.
Praise God for His special revelation. This is very helpful to see the beauty of immersing ourselves in God's word. Reading the Bible is very essential in everyday to guard our heart and mind. I'm encouraged!
Thank you Sir, for opening my eyes - Just Like That!!
HALLELUJAH!! Thank you Jesus for this confirmation 🙌🕊💙🌈
Thank you Pastor Piper love your teaching God bless you .
Paster Thanks for encouraging us ; Yeah once the situation of mine the same as 2 Cor 4:4, the god of the world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ.
How much this man loves God and his word is like nothing else I have known. Okay, I don't know much yet, but still...
As always, a great teaching from a great man of God! So detailed and biblical such truth. All the glory be to God!!
I just love when people that speak the truth and based on bible passages not just their imagination
I have such a sweet assurance in His promises through scripture. I don't deserve His grace. He is so indescribably Good. I'm so indescribably undeserving of His promises. He is so Awesome.
Praise the Lord 🙏🙌
How are you doing brother?
@@Seeker7257 that being said, we can't parade our sin willingly as if we didn't believe what we say we believe. We're called to live in holiness, friend.
@@Seeker7257 I'm well. How are you?
@@Stanzi18 yes of course we need to repent for there is no time left and I'm praying for you brother stay blessed ❤️
Very eye opening! The Truth is revealed!
Blessing
Amen!
Just a suggestion - some of us are introverted. The idea of putting on a show is anathema to us. The best definition of the word glorify I ever heard is "TO GIVE WEIGHT TO". To make of utmost importance. This is the way I will apply that thought as I continue listening.
Excellent teaching God bless 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for sharing!!! That’s so important!! Reading 📖 the BIBLE!!!!!! Is life or death
Love this!
By his Word
Great solid basic gospel presentation.
7:20 Great commparison Pastor John!
We're commanded to study the Bible!
Reading a book about someone (God) only gives 'head' knowledge...not personal or 'heart' knowledge. Personal knowledge can only come from experience.
I'm a Christian and I agree. Have you come across Lectio Divina? It's a deep way of praying with a short Bible passage so that you have a personal encounter and experience of God through not just reading the passage but praying with it, having a two way conversation with God about it, listening to God about it, letting the Holy Spirit play out the passage inside you, really entering into it and meeting God in it.
Reading the Bible reveals the nature of God to the reader, providing he's open to Him. Experience has to be tested by the Word of God and cannot be trusted by itself.
The fact that we are created rational human beings means we need to apply our minds to the Word of God and to understanding what He says through it.
I used to swallow that teaching, that of "head knowledge" versus "heart knowledge," but it's a false division - we need both.
Reading God's book with a heart turned towards Him can't possibly give you only head knowledge.
I can read a book on Biblical theology and it will make my heart sing with love and praise for the glory of God!
My heart unites with my understanding and I am lifted spiritually to God.
Praise His beautiful Name!
🤗🤗🤗
I am allwas happy with the gospel
A video preaching on How to see and feel Christ and all the people in the comments talking about...how do i feel Him again? 😐
It's God's Word. It's God's Word. It's God's Word. It's God's Word. It's God's Word. It's God'sWord. Isn't that more than enough reasons?
He is on time!
yes yes
🎯Amen
The reason is, life is to short, plus there many version to read. Not only one
So, pick a couple and read those 👍
I love reading the bible every day. But it is so difficult to understand the meaning some of the time.
great cotent guys! Just shared this to my group would love to connect just subscribed:)
Wow wow wooooow
And when you get burnt out from reading the Bible every day and want to do something else with your day? Does that make you less of a believer?
I agree with 98% of what Piper says. However, when he was saying that people can only be saved by reading or hearing the Word. However, what about Romans 1:20? I'm of the thought that a person in an unreached place can look at creation and see that God exists (Romans 1 : 20) and if you seek Him (God) he will show himself to you and he will get His Word to you by someway. Yes reading or hearing the Word is the best way to hear about the God of the universe, and that why we must go into the world and preach. I am in no way ant mission. I myself went into a semi closed country and did evangelism.
Creation displays the existence and the glory of God in nature, but it doesn't reveal His redeeming love for us. For that, people need to hear the Gospel. It's fantastic when people reach out for God as a result of seeing something in creation, but they don't know Him until God sends them His gospel of salvation, by some means, as you said.
I think that's what John Piper was meaning.
The opening screen says part 2. Where is part 1?
I.resd it ever day
How does he write over his text? Is that an iPad app?
I love god
Gives more effort, for more people to be close minded.Discussion over.
Daily reading is good advice... The Bible, Quran and Bahai Writings all have Truth... "Immerse yourselves in the ocean of My words, that ye may unravel its secrets, and discover all the pearls of wisdom that lie hid in its depths." ~ Baha'u'llah
I agree! Just make sure you take off your TULIP glasses first😎
first we have to be save and someone have to teach you god word about god how to study the Bible for there self we in the world who teach you the bible it dont line up with the bible you have to remember back when you were little how your parents and grandparents teach you about god i can remember they told me god is a big god he has the whole world in his hand he knows you better than your parents god created you i can remember how they get letter from rev ike i was little my self i can remember my grand mother was a Sunday school teacher and has bible study at people house somewhere they got off track i ask god did they really know god voice when he was speaking pray for me that I get my right what they didn't not get and help me know god voice and have faith in god about my relationship who i am with that he do the right thing and have more patience with me he get impatient and control his temper not get so mad and be man face some things if he say he was a man god all of his life and have more respect for me i believe god put us together for a reason
I'm sorry, Pastor John. Your six steps are not clear.
Just read Carl Sagan's The Demon Haunted World instead
When you listen to an audiobook of the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation it takes 30 hours.... Christians take the Bible on faith as if they were born into a cult. It's easier to be an apologist if you don't know what you're talking about. When someone quotes the Bible and you want to deny it you should first turn to Google search of the Bible. It's okay for Christians to learn what's in the Bible. You might even learn if you do what Jesus would do you would be put to death also. Seems only atheist know why Jesus was crucified in the Bible story. As a fanatical Christian it was my favorite story. I was a fanatic cuz I quit watching TV and read the Bible and went to church every time the doors were open. Now I'm not a Christian because I know what the Bible says.
I agree though 16 hours seems too short. My NIV audio book Bible is about 80 hours. It's good to be able to mix between reading and hearing God's word
Somewhat Informed.
I've never been taught that you have to take the Bible on faith 😆😆
The Bible itself tells us to test all things and to hold fast to what is good, 1 Thessalonians 5:21, and to test the spirits of the people who teach to see if they are false teachers, 1 John 4:1.
I'm very sorry to hear that you have rejected the Bible. I don't know what your claimed knowledge is based on, but it's not the knowledge and understanding of God's Word.
No
give it a try man u never know what you might like
Reading the Bible is one of the surest ways to turn a believer into an atheist. By all means, read it.
So we exist to glorify God... what a shitty porpose of existence. I'd rather not exist, but instead, we have to do as he says, or we will go to hell...
WHAT GLORY? WHY DO I HAVE TO BE ON MY KNEES? I NEVER ASKED FOR ANY OF THIS. HE BEOUGHT ME HERE
Brian Castle In Romans 9:20-21 God addresses your question exactly. He says: “Who are you, a mere human being, to argue with God? Should the thing that was created say to the one who created it, “Why have you made me like this?” When a potter makes jars out of clay, doesn’t he have a right to use the same lump of clay to make one jar for decoration and another to throw garbage into?”
It would be foolish to spend your remaining days shaking your fist at God asking Him all sorts of unimportant questions and telling Him how He did it wrong. You’d be much better off spending your days trying to figure Him out from a position of weakness and humility because any perception of authority you may have is completely in error. You are figuratively like a worm before God.
Yeah, bro. Don’t be like me. I rejected God so many times, ended up miserable, could not find no answer to this disgusting world we live. God showed me the way. We all need to reconcile with our creator.
Reading the bible is good but it is in vain if you don't use your own mind to make sense of it....
The mind that God created and gave us
With the Holy Spirit's help. He is the revealer of truth. 😊
doesnt reading something entail that you are making sense of it?
If I was a loving god, the first thing I would do is stop Cot Death! What would you do if you were a loving god?
@ ozskipper
Anything to say on the content of this video?
I did.. The presenter implied that the god of the bible was a kind loving god. I disagree. "This book" is a book of horror and bigotry about a narcissistic deity. Perhaps one of mankinds most horrid gods.
You've never read it. (Otherwise you wouldn't be saying such silly things.)
Please go play your games elsewhere.
Ive read it twice.. What parts would you like me to quote? How about Numbers 31:18 where moses told his men to commit genocide and rape the girls that are left over?
Or would you prefer I quote Mark 7:10 where Jesus commands that cursing kids are put to death?
Perhaps I could quote Deuteronomy 22:23-24 where you should stone a rape victim to death.
Oh yes. I have read it. Not just the warm fluffy bits. The whole lot!!
If you'd read it, then you wouldn't just be pulling verses here and there to suit your whims. You liar, Jesus is not telling anyone to put cursing kids to death. If you'd actually read the Bible as you claim, you'd know basic things like the distinctions between the OT and the NT, what the Law was for, who it was for, how Jesus fulfilled the law, etc.
Go spew your hatred and blasphemy elsewhere. You know zero about the Bible. Nor do you care to learn.
Why weren't the 10 commandments
1) Thou shall not be racist.
2) Thou shalt not molest children.
3) Thou shalt not rape.
4) Thou shall not oppress an entire race for greed, vanity or wealth.
5) Thou shall not take a human or animal life unjustly.
6) Fathers do not abandon thy kids.
7) Parents respect your children and thy home for they are the
future of the world and the home is their school for life. They will respect you in old age if you do.
8) Every man Respect thy neighbors.
9) Love the planet and treat her with respect for she produces life giving minerals and nutrition for humans.
10) Seek me through good works and prayer, for I will reveal myself unto thee.
Instead the first 5 commandments are just establishing kingship and sovereignty over all gods and establishing idolatry. And making kids listen and honor their parents. Cool thanks for my first 5 slave training guides.
Then don't work on sabbath? Thanks Yahweh I really needed you to tell me to rest a day.
Then don't murder? Thanks I need you to tell me not to murder.
Then don't fuck your neighbors wife? Thanks Yahweh wasn't planning on it but good to know.
Then thou shall not lie? Ok I'll be sure to incriminate myself any chance given thanks Yahweh.
Then don't covet thy neighbors shit? But please respect corporate capitalism and pay your goddamn taxes, freedom is a privilege and you must pay.
Lol god is fucking stupid at least the god Islam, Judaism, and Roman Catholicism portray.
couldn't the same be said about your rules? like... "thanks God...I planned on not raping/molesting..." stop questioning and complaining about JESUS and LOVE HIM
God’s commandments teaches us to have respect towards one another, and If we respect each other then in turn we wouldn’t rape, be racist, and all the above that you listed. But ofc those situations still exist but that isn’t God’s fault. That is people not choosing to listen or do the right thing. And yea I agree that most people don’t need to be told to not murder, lie in bed with their neighbors spouse, or be told that they should take a day off…but those are all things that DO happen. As people, we are not perfect and we need reminding of simple or obvious commandments.
Yeah you, with “you” being a generalization for all humans here, do need someone to tell us not to rape and murder as you plainly state. This is evidenced by the sheer fact that murder and rape exists.
I hope everyone knows that this man is a loss man I don’t see how you could get anything from a dead man this man has never believed in the gospel of Jesus Christ please research and you could start with RUclips channel Jacksmack
I'm absolutely convinced that John Piper is as saved as anyone could be! 😁😁😁👍👍
Amen!
