“You’re not a Christian if you only love what you would have loved without being confronted with a God-centered God. If God is only a means to your self advancement and exaltation, rather than your seeing in Him something infinitely glorious as a god consumed with the manifestation of His glory, then you need to check your conversion?” - John Piper (“God's Passion for His Supremacy, Part 1 3/16/07”)
“Your passion for the supremacy of God in all things is based squarely on God’s passion for the supremacy of God in all things. Your God-centeredness, if it is going to last, if it is going to endure, has to be rooted in God’s God-centeredness. If you want God to be supreme in your life, you have to see and believe and love the truth that God is supreme in the life of God. If yo want God to be your treasure so that you value God more than anything, you have to see and believe that God’s treasure is God.” - John Piper (John Piper – “God's Passion for His Supremacy, Part 1 3/16/07”)

“The greatest evidence that you’re a Christian is the fact that, right now, you’re in the Word and God’s pointing out to you your sin. We have assurance that we have come to know Him, not just because one time we repented, but we are continuing to repent today. And it is not just that at one time we believed, but that we are continuing to believe today. And it is not just that at one time we walked with Him, we continue to walk with Him today. - Paul Washer
