In Future Grace, author John Piper
helps readers discover the key to
overcoming sin and living a life that
honors God. Many men and women attempt
to walk upright out of gratitude for
what Christ did in the past, but Piper
encourages believers to look ahead to
the grace God provides for us on a day-
by-day, moment-by-moment basis—putting
faith into action by laying hold of
God’s promises for the challenges we
face.
Sever the Root of Sin
No one sins out of duty. We sin because
we want to. Sin promises happiness, and
we buy the lie. So how can the root of
sin be severed in our lives? The
penalty of sin must be paid by the
righteous blood of Christ. And the
power of sin must be broken by banking
on the promises of Christ.
John Piper’s meditations are rooted in
rock-solid biblical reflection. Chapter
by chapter—one for each day of the
month—he reveals how, by cherishing the
promises of God, you can break the
power of anxiety, despondency,
covetousness, lust, bitterness,
impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and
more.
