The reason I am doing what I am doing now is because of *this* sermon.
It might be the most impactful 2 minutes of preaching I've ever seen — and it changed my entire life.

59 verses of whoring unfaithfulness against God. Then this:
“Yet I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish for you an everlasting covenant. Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed . . . and you shall know that I am the Lord . . . when I atone for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord God.” Ezekiel 16:60–63

Every temptation comes with a promise.
It whispers, “This will satisfy you.” And every time we give in to sin, we’re believing that promise over God’s.
The way to fight sin isn’t just trying harder or feeling more guilty.
Faith breaks the power of sin because it believes something better — that everything God promises us in Christ is more satisfying than anything sin could ever offer.
Read ‘Future Grace’ by John Piper to learn how to not just say no to temptation, but to say yes to a greater joy.
Now available as a revised edition at Crossway.

When temptation hits, don’t just try harder.
Trust deeper.
God’s grace isn’t just something he gave you.
It’s something he’s still giving you.
Try this when you feel weak: Admit. Pray. Trust. Act. Thank.
Because when you’re satisfied in God’s promises, sin loses its grip.
The fight for holiness starts by trusting the grace God has promised to provide. Discover ‘Future Grace’ by John Piper.

When Jesus is enough, we focus on what we have, not on what we don't have or what we still might lose.
When Jesus is enough, we bless God and don't curse Him.
When Jesus is enough, we believe God, even though we don't understand our circumstances.
When Jesus is enough, we ask Him to take the half of us that's left and make that everything He wants us to be.

"Dear Christian, pray that God would strengthen your faith, that His Spirit would conform you to the image of Christ, and that He would help you grasp the 'breadth and length and height and depth' of the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge (Eph. 3:18–19). And having known that God has saved you in Christ, rest in the joy of a future that is secure—not because you secured it but because Christ secured it for you."
The reason that the doctrine of assurance is important is straightforward: It is a matter of doctrine and of daily Christian living on which our immortal souls depend. —@ThomasBrewer ligm.in/4zfIYTh
