John Piper - To Him Be Glory Forevermore


Piper on his second to last Romans sermon, talking about the glory of God. A must listen, read or watch!


Here is what ackendrick from Soli Deo Gloria blog wrote about this sermon!


Today I was watching a John Piper sermon online and I thought it exactly went along with the overall pupose of our blog. To Him Be Glory Forevermore was the title for the text of Romans 16:25-27. Piper gave this sermon to Bethlehem Baptist Church on December 17, 2006 as he is wrapping up a series through the entire book of Romans. He started this series on Romans back in 1998 starting with chapter 1 and now just wrapping it up in 2006. What a great expositional preacher of today to go striaght through an entire book. Piper claims that Romans was the greatest letter ever written and I might have to agree with him. Piper tries to do the impossible and define the glory of God but he does so by contrasting the glory of God to God’s holiness. Piper’s definition: “The glory of God is the infinite beauty and greatness of his manifold perfections.” An easier way to look at his definition is, “the glory of God is the manifestation of His holiness” or the “going public of His holiness.” This sermon helped me to understand the glory of God on a new level and I pray that you will read it or listen to it for yourself at DG . I also pray that we do what we were created for: Glorifing God.
