"Salvation is the purchase and provision of sight for the blind. God sent Christ into the world to die for our spiritual blindness, pay its penalty, absorb the wrath it deserves, and provide a perfect imputed righteousness for all who believe. This is the most beautiful display of God's glory that has been or ever will be. The divine glory we have been redeemed to see is most beautifully shown in the redemption itself."
--John Piper, When I Don't Desire God
This is the truth I'm aiming to embrace with my whole being. The beauty of the cross should be the source of all my joy, strength, perseverance, and love, for this is what I was saved to experience -- God's glory.
