Future Grace

The Biblical Path to Severing Sin and Pursuing Holiness How can we overcome sin and live in a way that honors God?

But John Piper encourages men and women to look ahead to the grace God provides for us daily--putting faith into action by laying hold of God's promises for the challenges we face.Future Grace offers meditations grounded in solid biblical reflection to help readers understand that the penalty of sin is paid by the righteous blood of Christ, while the power of sin is broken by banking on the promises of Christ. By cherishing these promises, readers will be better equipped to break free from anxiety, despondency, covetousness, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, and misplaced shame, enabling them to pursue superior pleasure for the ultimate glory of Christ.
