God's Glory and Your Purpose: Devotions with John Piper Day 4


How the Rescued Life Looks
Romans 4:20

2 Corinthians 3:18

Abraham didn't waver in unbelief but grew strong in his faith giving glory to God. As he went through trials, he was glorifying God.
Life changes when I'm trust in Jesus, just like most people this is a struggle. Trusting in God is seeing him as glorious and being satisfied I'm Him, His presence, His promises etc.
- We are justified through faith apart from works of the law. In OT God didn't just demand sacrifices but also a personal sacrifice of our own ego. Yahweh is God, not me, my decisions and mentality have consequences.
As the final days comes closer, as my pursuit for God grows I become more like Him since. I become like what I should treasure, the glory of God. This cuts off the roots for our sinful pursuits If this is done it should show effect, maybe not immediately but all God's followers are shown to be growing like Him.
