What is grace? It is God who is pleased to do us good when we least deserve it. But do we really know how unworthy we are? Only God can reveal it to us and he does it through the Bible. And when this revelation appears, the wonders of his grace shine with a brilliance that we have never before perceived.
The Five Points of Calvinism describe how Christians are saved and why they are preserved eternally. This doctrine takes us back to the time when we were freely chosen. It propels us into the future, where we will be happy and safe forever. It probes the mysteries of the work of Christ, who acquired for all God's children the gift of faith. It penetrates the human soul, allowing it to glimpse the mysteries of the work accomplished by the Spirit, as He achieves complete victory over our rebellion and makes us willing captives of Jesus, the King.
John Piper believes that as our experience of grace deepens, so does our understanding of God's work of grace. He invites us to join him in this quest.
John Piper is an honorary pastor and author of numerous books including This Fleeting Marriage and Let the Nations Rejoice! He has been married at Christmas for almost 50 years. They have five children and twelve grandchildren.
