All of creation was meant to communicate the supreme beauty and worth of God. God created the world for his glory. He created the world so that he would be magnified by the way his creatures find their greatest satisfaction in him. Money, sex, and power exists ultimately to show that God is more to be desired than money, sex, and power. That is, paradoxically, how they become most satisfying in themselves.
Manghang-mangha sa Diyos (John Piper)
Ang sampung katotohanang nakasulat sa librong ito ay mga katotohanan na nakakapagpayanig ng mundo. At patuloy nitong babaguhin ang buong mundo habang ang magandang balita ni Cristo ay naipahahayag nang mas malalim at mas malayo pa. Itong nakakamanghang mga doktrinang ito, gaya ng isinulat ni Piper, ay talaga namang “wildly untamable, explosively uncontainable, and electrically future-creating.”

Everything for God’s Glory (1 Cor. 10:23-11:1)
To serve us, to glorify God - 'yan ang life mission ng Panginoong Jesus. At tayo rin na sinasabing tagasunod niya, yun din ang life mission natin, hindi pwedeng iba, hindi pwedeng to serve ourselves, to glorify ourselves, but to serve others, to glorify God. Jesus came and lived a perfectly righteous life, and died and rose again para ano? To rescue us from ourselves so that we may live for others and for God.
