This whole time I thought I had a lack of faith in myself, and it wasn't in myself. I doubted the power of God. I have been changed, I am a slave to rightousness. And I realize that I am truly free when I obey God. And from now on I will walk in faith in Christ.

Gods righteousness lives in us! Glory to Jesus!

Thank you Holy Spirit for convicting me. I had been neglecting my responsibilities. Thank you bc I asked what I should be doing and you answered! Please forgive me Father for neglecting addressing sin in my life. I've been coming to you about my wants but not realizing how I've gotten off to presumption and laziness. That's arrogant and prideful. I repent and sincerely ask for your forgiveness. Your principles and precepts are wonderful. I need you Holy Spirit to empower me to not let sin reign in my body but to learn how to offer each part as an instrument of righteousness. Thank you Lord that you have me this day to come to myself and thank you Holy Spirit for shining light on the sin in my life. Keep me from neglecting important principles and precepts. I desire to be sincerely obedient and pleasing in your sight. Forgive me Father for not putting off things. Thank you for another chance. In Jesus name, Amen!

Genuine and crystal clear understanding of word of God..

Pray for me, I had wrong understandings of this in my past and it’s no wonder why I felt and still feel spiritually dry and stuck, I wasn’t in the word as much as I should’ve been when I was only saved 2 years ago. A lot of failures in my walk so I need to trust the cross for those things

I’ve become a slave of righteousness 🙌🏽AMEN

I needed this word my guy!

I love the genuine enthusiasm and pure love for God thanks for this great blessing brother. May we continue to live for God the only true and living God who was and is and is to come amen hallelujah.

Christ identity is what makes the christian. Christian is christ-like. Its great that Christ wants us to be like Him and He sets the blueprint and trademark that people can copy to a certain extent.

This is the core of Christianity. This is what it means to be conformed to his image. To produce fruit. To live in a manner worthy of our calling.

Amen👌 It was explicitly explained with power😊

Was studying Romans 6 for a while so this is very helpful. God is good

Solid and practical teaching!

". . . work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." -PHILIPPIANS 2: 12, 13

Thank you so much for this revelation🙏🙏

This right here is straight fire .

Thank you John Piper. Your explanations are really helpfull to me.

Time it is time for us to rise up pastor John, Noel and Abraham Piper.

Truly blessed me🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Amen brother!

God bless you pastor John!

Can anyone pray for me. I feel a huge spiritual pain and I’m crying out to the lord but nothing is happening I still feel this pain of something telling me I am going to hell. I’ve Been walking with the lord just fine a few days ago then I started to feel dry. I don’t know if it’s a test from God because I’ve never really had a test in the couple of months I’ve been following Christ. So I just ask for prayers.

We are a new creation!!!

Excellant!

Jesus Said.."Obey My Sayings and Seek Me and My Righteousness EveryDay..I will Give you Everything you Need and Deliver you from Evil.". This is Jesus Promise. If you Obey Jesus and Do things HIS Way..there is No Need to Fight anything! If you choose to do it some other way..I guess you can fight all you want!

In Christ 🙏💯

Amen

Mmm... Yummy soul food😊

speak up the words of God and tell the truth with the help of holly spirit.

Become in Experience What You (already) Are in Christ, part 2 🐻

fell into lust plz pray for me

+Kehinde Olaleye-Akib..Jesus Knows of the Flesh. And He Said.." Do not Resist evil.". The reason He said this..is because resistance to something..only makes it stronger. The best thing to do..is just let bad thoughts pass right on through. You are not responsible for them any way. You are only responsible for what you Do with them. And Only Live one Day at a time. People make mistake of looking too far into the future and it Overwhelms them. Jesus Said..Forgive Yesterday..Live Today..and don't live in the future. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." it is easier if you do things day by day..not look to your perfection..Tomorrow! Seeking Jesus EveryDay..is key. Just let Him Help you..fighting is Stupid.

Have you heard of pastor Chuck Baldwin?

What are your thoughts about adam weishaupt on Calvinism and Lutheranism. I think you shouldnt follow Calvinism at all what adam weishaupt says about this.

I am afraid made myself reprobate now I can't repent

+Jesus is Lord..Yes..the Simplicity is what Works! People make it Too complicated. Reading all people's opinions in the rest of the bible confuses them.

QUESTION TO ALL PREACHERS AND TEACHERS: HOW DOES OR HOW CAN A CHRISTIAN "FALL" INTO A GRIEVOUS SIN? WHEN AND IF INFACT THEY ARE IN CHRIST AND BY FAITH THEY LIVE! ITS JUST NOT POSSIBLE! All the verses John Piper goes through does NOT apply to Demas, its either or but not both! However you think that it is possible that you think of people in scripture when they fell, just test all things! Ok like Demas that loved the world and left Paul? Notice the Scriptures don't say he left Christ no no nothing like that but he was just follow a man like Paul and left Paul. He loved this present world, instead of eternal life with Christ, think about that! Colossians 4:14 KJV - Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you. Philemon 1:24 KJV - Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers. 2 Timothy 4:10 KJV - For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. This is the biggest lie preachers believe because of all the fake christians going to fake churches so called Buildings! Also in the last days some will leave their faith because they never were born of God in Christ by faith!!! Like the so called churches in Revelation!!!!

+uribeand000..Yes! Jesus does that..but you need to understand how thought process works. You are Not your Mind. Don't judge Yoursef by your Mind. The way the universe is set up..is that thoughts from out there in nether regions COME to you. You are Not Responsible for them Coming or being there. You are only responsible for What you Do with them. Jesus Knows this. I have stupid thoughts too..but the best thing is just to Let them go right on by. Do not entertain them. Just be AWARE they are there and stupid thoughts. Choose the Good thoughts..That is the Part that Jesus Helps you Do.

Most theologians fail to understand how the mystery of God impacts how we view the epistles. Any epistle written by Paul before he received the revelation of the mystery of God lacks the full salvation message. Paul first mentions the mystery in the last chapter of Romans. He appears to close out the letter in verse 24 but adds verse 25 by mentioning the revelation of the mystery. Romans 16:24-25 KJVS [24] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. [25] Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, He adds more information regarding the mystery in the following epistles. In Colossians he writes this. Colossians 1:24-28 KJVS [24] Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: [25] Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; [26] Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: [27] To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: [28] Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Being made perfect is being sanctified, He 10:14. It astounds me that a simple effort of studying the word of grace as it appear in the New Testament is not made. By grace we are saved, not of our works. Ephesians 2:8-10 KJVS [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. [10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. But how does grace save us? Titus 2:11-12 KJVS [11] For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, [12] Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Definition of the Greek word translated into the English word teaching in verse 12. Strong's Definition From G3816; to train up a child that is educate or (by implication) discipline (by punishment): - chasten (-ise) instruct learn teach. This Greek word appear several time in Hebrews 12. Hebrews 12:6-11 KJVS [6] For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. [7] If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? [8] But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. [9] Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us , and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? [10] For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. [11] Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Another way grace saves a believer is this way. Titus 3:4-7 KJVS [4] But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, [5] Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; [6] Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; [7] That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Now does a believer play a part in this with effort of his own? Of course he does. Romans 8:13 KJVS [13] For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. But when Paul wrote this verse he did not have the knowledge of the revelation of the mystery yet. Is verse 13 wrong? No, Paul just did not have the full picture of how death to the lusts of the flesh was accomplished. In Philippines he did. Philippians 3:10-11 KJVS [10] That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; [11] If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Apostle Peter writes of our partaking of the sufferings of Christ. 1 Peter 4:1-2,12-13 KJVS [1] Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; [2] That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. [12] Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: [13] But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. www.justifiedfreely.com/?p=180

there is No Salvation Outside of The Catholic Church. Protesting Christ Catholic Church is not that far off from being a full blown Satanist, same rebellious spirit(both Protestant religions).

This is mostly fleshly nonsense! John Piper should know better. Without conviction that a deed is indeed sinful, you will not even want to fight your sin! "O foolish Galatians ...Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith...having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Gal. 3: 1-3 ( read all Galatians) Without the Spirit of God you will not even desire God. Pray earnestly for the mind to receive the Spirit and to obey the Word of God! Jack Crabtree
