John Piper Sermons – Will God Really Praise Us?

John Piper Sermons Will God Really Praise Us?

This new teaching by Pastor John Piper titled “Will God Really Praise Us?” is what we are bringing to you to listen to and meditate on.

Pastor John starts the message with this  biblical principle: Just as God in his mysterious providence governs all the actions of non-Christians in such a way that their bad deeds are still blameworthy, so also he governs all the actions of Christians in such a way that their good deeds are still praiseworthy.

All our good deeds are done by his power. That is part of what makes them good, and they are praiseworthy.

There are numerous texts that teach that everything a Christian does that is pleasing to God is done by the power of God. In Hebrews 13:21, the writer says that God equips us “with everything good that [we] may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.”

Will we, because of our progressive and climactic glorification, receive praise from the Lord? And the biblical answer, which our friend is stumbling over, is yes. Matthew 25:21: “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’” Faithfulness in this life is acknowledged by the Lord of heaven and commended.

Pastor John concluded by adding that genuine Christians will be glorified both progressively in this life and then finally at the second coming. And the faithfulness shown to Christ in this life and the beauty completed at the end of this age will receive commendation and admiration from the Lord Jesus himself.
