I hold myself in contempt!
“… what Christ did by dying on the cross for sinners was to appease the wrath of God against sinners. By requiring of his Son such humiliation and suffering for the sake of God's glory, He openly demonstrated that He does not sweep sin under the rug. All contempt for His glory is duly punished, either on the cross, where the wrath of God is propitiated for those who believe, or in hell, where the wrath of God is poured out on those who don't.” ~ John Piper, Desiring God (emphasis added)
For more of the topic of glorifying God (i.e., NOT having contempt for His glory), see the following:
- You may be the lovely dust through which God works His purpose!
- You'll get the answer to that question, Mr. Bender, next Saturday.
- It's not that I'm lazy. I just don't care. It's a problem of motivation.
- I can't have a chink in my chain.
