Unstoppable Joy

John Piper, commenting on Romans 8:32:

"Through the cross God purchased and secured every possible blessing that could ever be needed to make us happy forever.  'He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things?'  The answer to that question is not uncertain.  God will -- signed in blood -- give us all things with Christ, because of he death of His Son.  That is, He will give us all things that are truly good for us.  We must preach this to ourselves every day, because Satan is preaching the opposite.  What could stop our joy if we really believed this truth: everything we need to be satisfied in God, the cross has made certain.  It cannot fail." (When I Don't Desire God, pages 91-92)

Let's fight this week to embrace this life-changing truth!  This week, whether in pleasure or in pain, God has assured us that He is withholding nothing good from us.  It is guaranteed by the blood of His Son.
