John Piper Delight Quotations

Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God.

To see Him and know Him and be in His presence is the soul’s final feast. Beyond this there is no quest. Words fail. We call it pleasure, joy, delight. But these are weak pointers to the unspeakable experience.

Missions is the overflow of our delight in God because missions is the overflow of God's delight in being God.

Worship is basically adoration, and we adore only what delights us. There is no such thing as sad adoration or unhappy praise.

God has levels of willing and delighting. He wills and delights in things in different ways so that approval and disapproval can coexist without being contradictory, without canceling each other out. I am making the case here for infinite complexity.
