Faith in Future Grace
April 10, 2008
I read John Piper’s book Faith in Future Grace a few years ago and to be frank it didn’t make much sense to me at the time. I found the whole distinction between gratitude and faith to be rather insignificant. I recently picked up the book again and have been reading it with my wife. This time around it is much clearer and the distinction between gratitude and faith as drivers for piety is much more important. In light of the upcoming move chapter 3 has been especially timely. You can read it here. Have a good evening!

That book is a tough one because it doesn’t square with our practice very much and it’s not something that Scripture emphasizes (like justification, grace, repentance, etc.) However, along with “The Pleasures of God” I think it’s his most unique and important contribution to biblical literature.
