John Piper on Psalm 100

Posted on by Pam Larson

When you know your covenant-keeping “Lord” is the absolute God;

  • and that he is the all-powerful creator of all things;
  • and that he is like a shepherd who provides pasture for his weak and straying sheep;
  • and that he is good;
  • and that his lovingkindness (= free, and undeserved covenant-making mercy) is forever;
  • and that he will keep his saving promises to all generations

– when you know these things, and feel the infinite worth of them, you will not be a selfish person. You will overflow with love.

John Piper, in a sermon “Education for Exultation, A Psalm for Thanksgiving”
