What is the ultimate good? It all ends in one thing: God Himself.
All the words of the gospel lead to Him, or they are not gospel.
For example: “salvation” is not good news if it only saves from hell and not for God. “Forgiveness” is not good news if it only gives relief from guilt and doesn’t open the way to God. “Justification” is not good news if it only makes us legally acceptable to God, but doesn’t bring fellowship with God. “Redemption” is not good news if it only liberates us from bondage, but doesn’t bring us to God. “Adoption” is not good news if it only puts us in the Father’s family but not in His arms.
–John Piper
I am so amazed and so blessed that God news has opened the way for me to find Him, has brought me into fellowship with Him, has liberated me to freely choose Him, and has put me in His arms.
Thank You God for the gospel… the ultimate good news!
