Hallelujah......I was homeless, got into drugs, went into prisons, then i got to know Jesus, He changed my life.. Now i have a home, a wife, a lovely daughter and a new identity... A child of God.

“He is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him“ - John Piper

I’m 48…living with so many regrets. One life…..thank you so much for this message. I know I’m not listening to this msg by accident

I think this might be the greatest sermon I've ever heard.

A sermon won’t change your life. Relying on the Holy Spirit, a willingness to change consistently and reading God’s word will.

I was 19 when I heard him I'm now 30 & still loved by Jesus.

TEACH ME OH LORD TO NUMBER MY DAYS.

This sermon will change my life. This year 2022 will the beginning. If it is the will of the Lord, may the Lord help me.

I have decide to give God total control of my life while listening to this......had a chest infection......now i feel totally healed....i was so depressed....and full of anxiety..now i feel so free

He who began a good work in you Will perform it!

My thoughts on this subject. God has a purpose for everyone. God uses people to get things done here on earth for His Glory and our reward is internal life in heaven with him.

3 Discoveries that Will Define the Unwasted Life: 1. There is an absolutely sovereign, transcendently pure, self-existing, self-sustaining, incomparably beautiful, all-knowing, all-wise, all-governing, all-upholding, all-defining, infinitely-valuable, all-satisfying God. (There is a great holy God who means to be known truly and treasured duly as God.) 11:15 2. Jesus Christ, the Son of God incarnate, not only become the means of my seeing and savouring the glory of God, but in the very act of overcoming these obstacles (37:16); becomes Himself the apex of the glory I couldn't see. 38:50 3. The life that most clearly displays the all-satisfying worth and glory of God in Christ is a life of joyful suffering in the service of love. 51:40 (Now i live and I die in order to show that God's glory in Christ crucified for sinners like me is infinitely invaluable. 49:56)

“ I will restore to you the years the Locusts have eaten “ Saith the Lord in Joel✝️❤️

I’m feeling the some way. I really don’t know what is in my heart and I trust God to help to accomplish His purpose. That’s is my desire.

I had to press pause in the first 5 minutes. It knocked me over, the power and conviction in the words you spoke. I had to pause. I’ll have to listen to this again and maybe again.

Two key themes here: 1. He MUST be the focus of all our living - all our preaching. 2. One life - almost a fearful responsibility. Dont blow it. Don't trifle with trivialities.

I have been too distracted away from the Most Important and into a treadmill of repeated living.... Thank you for this One Reminder

Great quote from this sermon: I am I simply am I have no beginning, I will have no end I depend on nothing, everything depends on me I am defined by nothing, I define everything I am controlled by nothing, I control everything” - John Piper

Pastor Piper's description of God makes me well up, reminding me of how wonderful He is and what a wretched being I am.

I'm an average thinker, and maybe below and I've always felt so bad about it. Have so many times been raked with the anguish that I was God's adopted, invisible, somehow cursed child. Not unloved for God is love. Just not as worthy and not good enough. As I listen to this incredibly sincere and brilliant man speak of his own struggles I'm changed and heartbroken for falling for the lies of an evil enemy, and regretful for having wasted my one life never fully fulfilling God's design for me.

"God's God exalting purpose for the universe causes me to soar" Piper My heart wants to explode!

A glorious message. Thank God for Pastor John. Help us Lord to live an unwasted life for His glory.

I read this book few years back and it was life changing. I'm amazed that God always raises such a preacher in every age.

There is no middle ground when it comes to Jesus. To not choose Christ is to refuse Him. If you are not for Him, then you are His enemy. To not serve Christ is to serve Satan. There is no middle ground. Choose life that you might live. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life.

I think my favorite takeaway was at 55:22 "What is salty? Not just doing good deeds - even pagans do plenty of good deeds." "If you are so satisfied in your reward that you can happily keep doing good for people who hate you, you're off the charts salty." (Which makes sense when non-Christian family members look down on me for forgiving so easily and helping those who have wronged me)

Thank you so much for a great message and I have wasted a lifetime of my time and life

The joy of the Lord is my strength!! I love the supernatural joy He blesses us with in our suffering for His Glory! It reminds me of how the saints sang hymns as they were being burned alive and through their supernatural joy through suffering our Father drew so many others who witnessed these miracles to Him! HalleluYah!! He is SO GOOD!!

Thank you Father God for this wonderful teacher whom you have brought to us today. My my entire house be born again through the blood and love of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen. Thank you Father God for listening and answering. Amen

I have Piper’s book “Don’t Waste Your Life”, and I would highly recommend it. Very good.

“Lord Help me be joyous in you. Help me to overcome the sin in my life that displeases you. You are worthy O God of all glory and praise forevermore . Lord, cast me not away, hold me close, help me to love my neighbor, your people and even my enemies. May they see Christ in me and that your name would somehow be exalted through my life.”

Wow this is for me! Called by God. Never trained by man but by the Holy Spirit, reading the word and listening to teachings and preachings. I live a joyous, supernatural life; for God is my agent and provider. I am very passionate for Jesus. Thku. God bless and keep you 🙋🏻

Thank you, pastor John for sharing with all of us your revelation of who God biblically is. You are a true blessing to His church.

Such a solid teacher!

This is powerful! Don't waste your life!

Praise God for this amazing message.

Amen. Praise God. Thank u Jesus. This sermon is so spiritual overwhelming, it fills a large emptiness inside me. Glory to God.

Amen! Although this is my first time hearing this message, I know that I will rehearse it over and over again for the sake of recentering all of myself on God. The Truth is so very lucidly expounded here, impacting the intellect and the emotions so as to be absolutely certain of the reason for which I exist. I want my heart and mind to be so bound up in Christ--in finding all contentment and satisfaction in His glory and grace, that in comparison, everything else and anything else will seem as repulsive as dung. My faith has been fanned into a blaze and rejuvenated. Faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ. And I want to forever, for all eternity behold and know more and more of His glories. Praise be unto Him! Thank you Ligonier Ministries for making this message available on KZfaq free of charge.

This is the very best worthwhile and inspiring message. An exhortation to exalt God in the purpose of my life. Thank you.

Best sermon ever

God is continue to build His kinddom until the Lord Jesus Christ returns to bring us to be with Him.

Amazingly beautiful! I love, the vessels of His Mercy!"he is most glorified when we are most satisfied! Let me live an unwanted life! Make Him look more valuable than anything in my life. Be Glorified, Sanctified, revered right here NOW in my life. COME!!!!

This is a Word that is deep and truthful the teaching from the True Gospel of Jesus Christ Amen

Applause for Mr. Piper and Ligonier! Thank you for keeping the video up! We very much benefited! Sadly, this won't be taught in schools across America...💦

Pray I don't lose myself by looking into the why. Pipper's vision only gets narrower and focus, whereas I am not given the opportunity to narrow down my focus. I have to be open for everything just to earn enough to feed myself for the next month, season, year, and I don't want to be like that any more. It has no meaning

What I really like about John Piper is his honesty, sincerity and intensity in sharing how he understand God’s word. I thought he is difficult to listen to but i found out he is one of the modern day Paul much like the late RC Sproul🙏😇

I only watched this for 5 minutes and I can tell you it's very good!

One life. I used to be afraid of dying, terrified by the thought. Until I did die, and growingly since I have lost that fear, until now all I say is, its ok Gods got me.

Life is teaching us about life and life is wasting everything everyday.

I LOVE his passion, its so amazing and beautiful, John Piper is the next explanation of how I feel about GOD LIKE WOW!!! GOD IS SO AMAZING, GRAND, AND BEAUTIFUL!!

Sobering message. We,re truly thankful. We ask God to help us along the way with Grace to fulfil his purpose. We cannot do it in ourselves alone. His Grace We need. His Holy spirit We need also a desire to pursue that which is of him. AMEN

I am filled ! Glory to God ! Use me to Your Glory Heavenly Father !

everyone comes to this question in their life and must make their own choices. you can't let other people determine your purpose and criticize your choices, if you feel you are doing what you should be doing.

God's design before my duty is a concise way of putting it

To God all the glory forever Amen...

Thank you Pastor John you are a wonderful man of God. Thanks for your love in Jesus Christ name.

A magnificent word!

THANK YOU JOHN FOR THIS WONDERFUL MESSAGE. YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS.

What a blessing. Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen

May I “live and die proving that” Jesus is my supreme treasure. - paraphrase from John Piper third point

Worship God, follow Jesus and serve others in his name.

This is just a tremendous word. Thank you for such passion for God and His design. I was overcome with tears as you brought clear focus on the wonder of our fabulous God and creator.

God called me to service at the age of 5yrs after wondering in the desert for 40grs.. My purpose is to Glorify His Name. Very uplifting message for those still searching the meaning of life. Come to the Lord, "don't waste your life". The message is clear. Blessings to you Mr Piper

Beautiful. Praise YHWH

Thank you Pastor John,..for this message

Praise the Lord for this man of God. !!!!! Be joyfully all of us!!!! Let's Make treasure in heavens

This is so true and right

The love and passion he displays for the Gospel of Christ is so uplifting! The only description I can apply to what I see this man is doing ; he is one who is after Gods own heart. Just like David, I so very much long to be this kind of person as well.

Praised be His name..!!

this is a beautiful sermon, truly life changing

Glory to God..I feel blessed watch this video and heard sermon. What's God's goodness

Thank you so well spoken to God’s glory. Thank you John Piper

Glory to God for this message! 🙏

Thank you so much Pastor, i feel like thanking in tounges

One of the few sermons that really pierce right through my heart. Just pure and real plea to not waste a second of our life glorifying ourselves and this world. Because we and this world is finite, we all have an end. But living a life glorifying God who is infinite, is the most important thing that matters most for eternity.

Wow! Thank you so much for this clear Biblical teaching of truths, which by His grace I've embraced for years, without ever really understanding until now!

Amen.

Sharp tools there's never a dull moment,,a good tool is a terrible tool to waste

Thank you, John Piper, for your ministry and this edifying sermon 🙌

Beautiful truthful sermon. Thank you

Wow, thank you for your message 🙏 ❤

Thank you father God🙏

I would love to see the entire verse you wrote at 17. I am 71 now and diagnosed with AML (Leukemia). There is much more I would like to say but won't publicize what is happening in my life right now. It sounds worth the reading.

Thank you for the preaching 🙏

I love this message..

I love the passion and fire Mr. Piper has, it is a lifelong of fellowship with God :)

The Bible doesn’t say if we continue growing spiritually or not when we reach heaven. That being said, that doesn’t mean that our response in this life doesn’t matter because I believe that it does in terms of spiritual rewards whatever that looks like, which is what the Bible does talk about.

Great message in this sermon, God Bless🙏

Even though I understand that reading the Bible is important, there are times when I cannot bring myself to read it when I am in despair. However, it is crucial to recognize that God is always near and watching over us.

Probably the best sermon about Christian faith foundamentals I have ever heard. Glory to God!❤

such a brilliant sermon!

Yes God bless him

Incredible!!! HALLELUJAH!!! 🙌🙌🙌

I have to say: I just love this sermon! It’s just like music 🎶 to my ears….It changed everything, changed my life, and helped me so much in my walk with the Lord ❤️

The unwasted life is lived to show that Jesus is more precious than life⭐️

"The universe is like a peanut in pocket God's, only that's too big an analogy for the universe" I loved this!

Praise Lord

I praise God, and pick up his banner. His cause is the Truth in which I will defend with all my heart. I give up all, so that I may never turn back.

God bless you man

Yes! We do waste our time ! We need to wake up! Thank you Sir ! He’s all we need ! Our Awesome God! We are in trouble ! We are even lazy to love God!

Absolutely right God created us for his Glory and he gave us free will because if he made us as robots what Glory would that bring to him
