- God could change you in an instant so you would never sin again. So why doesn’t he make us completely holy now?

“The reason you keep running out of gas everyday is that it will bring you back to the station every day which is me (God)”
Yes!! Well said!! Thank you for saying this for ME. I LOVE YOU!!
@@vistulagibsoncooper2420 Yes. Yes.
Beautiful
let's not forget where the gas comes from.
Ah, if we are sanctified totally, our tanks will remain full. We are not only already justified but also glorified.
This message reminds me of Manna from Heaven. Manna gets old real fast within the day so the Israelites had to rely on God for new Manna to feast on every single day.
Jeremiah Gallo Amen! I agree!
Exodus 16:15-18 So when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, “This is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat. This is the thing which the Lord has commanded: ‘Let every man gather it according to each one’s need, one omer for each person, according to the number of persons; let every man take for those who are in his tent.’ ” Then the children of Israel did so and gathered, some more, some less. So when they measured it by omers, he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack. Every man had gathered according to each one’s need.
The Lord also reminds us to ask for His bread daily to feed our spirits.. (Matthew 6:9-13). And.. Jesus is the bread of life accdg to John 1.
Amen. Very nice choice of verses. On point.
Jeremiah Gallo Definitely a great correlation! When they tried to store up the manna aka “God’s Provision” , it started to rot. We must depend on Him day to day and not rely on our prior knowledge, grace, mercies and experiences. Sometimes it’s a painful process and we don’t understand why, but this is where trust comes in. 💕😊 To God be the Glory...
Amen because man has a natural tendency to rely on ourselves and our own work. Instead of allowing the Lord to be our Shepard and we SHALL not want(be in need of), for he will supply all of our needs!
Had the exact same thought!
I've been a Christian for a couple of decades, and this is something I had missed. I've listened to this a half dozen times since yesterday, and it makes me cry. I'm tempted to dwell on how much I've missed and how I've missed the mark. Lord help me keep the past where it belongs. A couple of weeks ago my elder spoke to me from Romans 6. It's been on my heart since. I had just read that chapter, but it stood out and also moved me deeply. Over the past year or so my pastor and elders, and Piper, and MacArthur, and Sproul, and so many others, and most of all the Holy Spirit, have rattled my cage. I feel as if I am awaking from a sleep. The phrase from Romans 6 that keeps coming back is "walk in newness of life". It's like I've been a spiritual zombie, walking around dead in Christ, but not alive in Him. Lord Jesus, raise us to walk in newness of life. I pray for all my brothers and sisters, help us walk in newness of life. Amen.
Gerry James this is beautiful thank you for sharing
Amen brother! Same here
Gerry, I have had the same experience. Despite praying, reading my Bible, learning and doing good works, I've felt the same way for about three years. Somehow, despite all that spiritual activity I have been like a zombie. I watched Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe yesterday. The biblical imagery kept hitting as I watched it, and then the scene where Aslan sacrifices himself for the crimes of Edward opened my eyes. I had forgot why I even did those spiritual things. I forgot about the crucifixion, Jesus's death. All for my sins. Edward is traitorous coward, and a twerp, but Aslan dies for him just like Jesus died for me.
My experience too! Praise God for sight :)
Gerry- God bless you and I pray this finds you well in your walk. I thank you for your comment. Powerful
“Give us this day our daily bread.”
WHAT is the SPECIFIC PROCESS in sanctification? HOW des a person get renewed, sanctified, transformed? Are churchgoers afraid that the DEVIL is in the DETAILS?
Personally God led me to fast and pray for 3 days. Immediately at the conclusion of it, he brought on an inner cleansing process. The process was Spiritual and physical, which involved a constant bringing up of mucus. That process would go on for a while every day, as he initiated it.
I am looking forward to my glorified body. No more sins of the flesh
The meek inherit the Earth. Are you meek?

‘The fact that you run out of gas everyday puts you in the station!’ 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Amen. Repentance is daily.
Everyday has it’s own trouble:
- “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
Matthew 6:34 NASB
But everyday has its own mercies as well:
- The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; 'great is Your faithfulness'.
Lamentations 3:22-23 ESV
He nailed it here.
After we die God will show us how much he held us together in all ways through all things.
WHAT is the SPECIFIC PROCESS in sanctification? HOW des a person get renewed, sanctified, transformed? Are churchgoers afraid that the DEVIL is in the DETAILS?
Please pray we remain pure through last 5 weeks of engagement! And that I can treat His daughter as He would have me.

Praying for you Nick God bless
im 1 year regenerated and i pray many times a day that the Lord renew my spirit and clean my heart. I have had a radical change in my life.. and even in my great days.. I Plead with the Lord.. I see inside of my quiet head and thoughts and ALL how sinful my nature is. I am grateful for the cleansing blood of Christ. I am grateful to see myself aand never be content with who 'I" am.. Only thru Christ in me.. I am a forgiven beggar.
Hallelujah
Lord Jesus sanctify me, Lord help me to walk in newness of life, please pray for me anybody read this message
Knowing God is slowly restoring our heart to be in the image of Christ really encourages me to keep going
Amen
Justification is once through Jesus Christ...santification comes daily by reading His word and being in fellowship with Him via prayer.
I agree.
What you are saying is Justification is by faith but sanctification is by works.
What about 1 Corinthians 1:30? Jesus Christ is not only our redemption, he is also our sanctification.
Or 2 Colossians 6
In the same way that you recieved him so walk in him
Or Romans 14 23
Everything that doesnt come from faith is sin
This guy John Piper is just doing what so many so called teachers do and teach from their own logic which is based on their own defeatist experience instead of the word of god revealed by the holy spirit.
No wonder new christians are coming down from the heights of a wonderful walk with Jesus if they are being told its inevitable by people like this guy
Every once in a while throughout history there have been people that live exeptional lives in God and have been clothed with the holy spirit. These are the people that choose to not listen to such teaching as this and instead heed the word of GOD!
@@Paul-ly5cq Faith is a constant work. Your focus; where your eye is, is where your heart and treasure will be. Vanity is abundant in this world and will capture you if you do not focus. You are bogged down by letters, and you miss the forest for the trees because of it. Keep the word of God, not the words and traditions of men. Understand that the truth is behind the words, not contained within them.
@@owsleys89 I think you meant to reply to someone else's comment as your reply seems to have nothing to do with what I said.
God bless
Thank you for this eloquently worded message. I'm here watching this video, because I'm wrestling my sinful lust, and have, in my eyes recently backslid to my temptations once again.
It pains me, when at times, I can know and feel God, and his love so clearly, yet other times I find myself torn to my earthly desires. I'm praying for strength, courage, persistence, perseverance, and self control, that I may better walk in faith, and not as the world.
In these instances it begs me to wonder if I've truly been redeemed, because I am failing in those instances to walk in his Truth.
However, these words and video have shown me that I have been redeemed and justified, but I must persevere against my worldly desire if I am to be sanctified.
God bless, please pray for me! (Though this is a selfish request, when there are those that are still lost).
This was a message I didn't realize when I was younger. I vividly remember where I was when I was feeling in such an elevated place with God and thought "I found the sweet spot- I've made it" no joke. And once I went through trials later on I was so confused and felt like a failure as a Christian. This is seriously such an important message and one that needs to be discussed more! Day by day we are made more like Christ. The journey doesn't end until we meet him face to face. Until then, we must pick up our cross daily!
I can understand that 100%
That is my struggle too
i believe He does that so we wont go astray and turn away from God. He slowly does it so we can see how good He is to us and we wont wanna be apart from Him
I have to say thank you to you! And to God! I have been struggling! I am a new christian, from an atheist upbringing. I have been struggling with why don't I feel illuminated?! Why am I still sinning?! What is wrong with me? Why doesn't God want to be close to me?! I expected to feel whole and fulfilled and saved completely, made into a new person immediately. I read and read in the Bible that as a new person in Christ I was supposed to be changed. I thought the Holy Spirit was supposed to immediately indwell in me and fix me! Thank you, I had begun to doubt my belief. Thought maybe I wasn't really saved.
I see the light peaking through now. Please pray that I can further understand and find the joy in God that you have 🙏
I also thought that I'm not close enough to god. But now I realize that our God is so merciful. Our god is always working for our spiritual betterment.
Thank god. Our sovereign saviour.
Thank god for your endless love
Somehow the message of the sanctification of the believer isn't mentioned when the gospel of salvation/justification is preached and that new believer trusts in the Lord Jesus Christ, is born from above by the Holy Spirit and that Spirit comes to abide in him/her --- for one most important reason: to begin and begin the process of sanctification conforming each one to the image of Christ by the Word of God. And when that new believer realizes that he/she did not "shed" the old nature instantly, there is confusion and frustration as I experienced (Paul's Roman 7 experience and mine). As Brother John preaches - if it was instant, we would be heady, high-minded, and arrogant. But He begins to transform us and doesn't stop until we are in the presence of our Savior. It is God's plan, and He upholds us while the process is completed. God's plan has no fault!
This was a fantastic message and reminder that we need to seek God every day and keep him first in our hearts ❤ Thank you and may God bless you all. Amen 🙏
🙏 renewed day by day.
I am suffering so much ........ all I want is to be in heaven with Jesus..... but He has me here ;(
May the Lord strengthen you🙏🙏
mariobros882000 thank you for commenting. I feel a tiny bit better upon waking this morning as it is a new day. But I know more trials will come. Such is life, and sanctification. We will make it and we will hang in there. God bless. We will never give up!
Jemima Johnson thank you!!!

@@reking21 THANK YOU❣
Renewal is a blessing! Never understood this truth until I asked the Lord to show me His character!
“Each day has its own trouble and its own mercies”
DAILY bread..
This message is soooooo good !!!! And easy for everyone to understand too !! May we keep letting God renew our minds every single day and take action on all He is leading us to do 😊 I’m so beyond grateful God’s mercy is brand new every morning 🙏
I pray everyday to be renewed, I fight sins everyday so I can be close to my Lord Jesus 🙏🙏🙏
Boy this the truth. Without HIS mercy I would have craw in a hole a long time ago. I sing praises to his HOLY NAME JESUS for such love that gives me strenght and joy and power in the HOLY GHOST to thrive through HIM do I get tired and burn out yes .but he always takes me to the living still waters and green pastors and restores my soul. Thank you for that day by day need of you to keep me close to you
I needed this today. I have never struggled in my faith like I have this year. Raised in the church and now 54 you'd think this would be behind me... But no. The struggle is real. I just prayed an angry prayer and then I came across this video
I needed this message this morning
I love this. I am learning how to live and serve the Lord however I am struggling with loneliness and drug addiction. I pray for the strength to give God the pain do that I may be drug free and have people who love Jesus in my life. I am so grateful to be here. thank you Lord...please continue sanctifying my soul. Do what me as you will be done.
Prototype 176708 stay strong my man. I’m 6 months sober. A 12 step program worked wonders for me. It actually brought me back to Christ. I struggle a lot with sanctification, I’m so far from what other people say they are it scares me to death. I’m trying to learn to relax. No where in the Bible does it say “Jesus ran”. Love you buddy.
Hey I pray you’re doing better a couple years later !!
@@derikbarbieri8753 thank you friend. I’m still
Struggling and have been through a lot but God and the sacred liver of Jesus never left my side, even though I strayed at times. God is real! Jesus is real. Never give up hope. ♥️
@@Polecat-qz5om amen!!! i’m so glad to hear that, He certainly is faithful. Remember Romans 8:18 “Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.” I look forward to one day meeting you in heaven and just thinking about how every true believer we meet we will one day be united in Christ and it’s just an exciting thing to think about
@@derikbarbieri8753 me too friend 🙂
O man. O Lord. You know what's best. Thank's for keeping us close to the pump. Fill me up Sir - i'm running low - i've got a fair way to go.
Thank you for this encouraging message! I needed this today! I thank God for reminding me of His faithfulness and that He is my Bread of Life and Living Water that I must be filled daily to be restored and only by Jesus Christ will I be filled!
You don’t know how bad I neeeded to hear this im in so much pain from withdrawals I won’t go deep but y’all can fill in the blanks and Jesus Christ was the only reason I quit I promise you I wasn’t ever gonna quit if it wasn’t for Jesus Christ he saved me
Give us THIS day our DAILY bread!
I needed this message today! Thank you! All glory to God!

Only in Christ now for barely over 2 years-- coming up on 3-- so this Truth from His Word of Truth, through John & the Glorious Spirit of Truth is So awesomely edifying and encouraging, while being appropriately challenging, at the same time...
Thank you for putting this sermon snippet up on UA-cam to bless those who are fairly newly in Him, like me‼️-- I just had to share it with my beloved children and their Momma, who've been in Christ now for more than 7 years -- 'cause even old codgers like them, who've been given this gift of Faith--through His Mercy & Grace Alone, will be encouraged by this teaching from 2 Corinthians 3:16-18, 4:15-18 and elsewhere ❣️
- in Love ❤️, because He First Loved us,

It's sad that we need this message!
Amen . a Process of sanctification daily
I’m a Christian and I approve this message 🖖🏼
Woooooh how much i needed this
I really needed this right now! Thank you.
Thank you father GOD for building my faith stronger. I understand that it takes time. Because each new day is a struggle and I pray daily for strenght. I am just so sad and sorry that it took so long for me to understand this.
Thank you for this very encouraging word! God Bless!
I Love this. It gives us hope. Thank You. ❤️ 🙏
A thousand Amens to that. All glory be to God!
Amen! This gives me Hope!
I needed to hear this message cuz I was like Lord remove the fear, remove the anxiety, I don't like struggling, and the biggest one for me is about him coming back and there's anxiety their what I realize is that he's draw me close to trust him in this process of sanctification. That is not about me but it's just finished work of Jesus Christ and I can trust him where it says he that began the work will also bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. God bless you John Piper God bless you man
Emmanuel Everett dude I needed that so much. I feel like I’m losing my mind because I’m not perfect and it scares me to death. It feels like I’m doing something wrong or I’m not saved. Something I’ve learned also is that don’t believe every UA-cam comment where people are acting sinless. It will break you down.
Thank you for the reminder. I saw this year's ago and I appreciate the video.
Ah man, even though short this was amazing!
Praise you Lord for your wisdom!
Pastor John, I really needed to hear this. Like, a lot.

This and Phil 1:6 is keeping me; I am a new creation and I have to get this through my head. I am not what happened to me because Jesus saved me from it. All the ick and sin are possibly because I’m a Saint and a Child of God.
This is so incredibly real, powerful, and encouraging! Thank you for delivering this Word!
