A God Without Christ

Currently Hearing: When I Go Deaf by Low

"...it is [essential] to exult explicitly in the excellence of Christ crucified for sinners and risen from the dead. Christ must be explicit in our God-talk. It will not do, in this day of pluralism, to talk about the glory of God in vague ways. God without Christ is no God. And a no-God cannot save or satisfy the soul. Following a no-God - whatever his name or whatever his religion - will be a wasted life. God-in-Christ is the only true God and the only path to joy. Everything I have said so far must now be related to Christ."

- John Piper
Don't Waste Your Life, page 38
