John Piper Quotes

Because [God] Infinitely Values His Own Glory, Consisting In The Knowledge Of Himself, Love To Himself, [that Is,] Complacence4 And Joy In Himself; He Therefore Valued The Image, Communication Or Participation Of These, In The Creature. And It Is Because He Values Himself, That He Delights In The Knowledge, And Love, And Joy Of The Creature; As Being Himself The Object Of This Knowledge, Love And Complacence [i.e., Satisfaction, Delight]. . . . [Thus] God's Respect To The Creature's Good [that Is, Our Passion To Be Satisfied], And His Respect To Himself [that Is, His Passion To Be Glorified], Is Not A Divided Respect; But Both Are United In One, As The Happiness Of The Creature Aimed At, Is Happiness In Union With Himself.5
