Many men and women attempt to walk upright out of gratitude for what Christ did in the past, but Piper encourages believers to look ahead to the grace God provides for us on a day-by-day, moment-by-moment basis—putting faith into action by laying hold of God’s promises for the challenges we face. Sever the Root of Sin No one sins out of duty. We sin because we want to. Sin promises happiness, and we buy the lie. So how can the root of sin be severed in our lives? The penalty of sin must be paid by the righteous blood of Christ. And the power of sin must be broken by banking on the promises of Christ. John Piper’s meditations are rooted in rock-solid biblical reflection. Chapter by chapter—one for each day of the month—he reveals how, by cherishing the promises of God, you can break the power of anxiety, despondency, covetousness, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more. 1498705 1995 Future Grace total:284|5:116|4:118|3:41|2:8|1:1| 284 1192 497 46 5 1 false false Mon May 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 14 18:53:20 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 08:56:10 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Fri Aug 15 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 06 13:42:28 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 12:27:29 -0700 2008 To the best of my understanding, the theme is that we don't do good works out of gratitude.
