The Purifying Power of Living by Faith in Future Grace
By John Piper May 1, 2006

 

What is future grace? It is all that God promises to be for us from this second on. Saving faith means being confident and satisfied in this ever-arriving future grace. This is why saving faith is also sanctifying faith. The power of sin's promise is broken by the power of a superior satisfaction; namely, faith in future grace. Gratitude for past grace was never meant to empower future obedience. Tomorrow's crisis demands tomorrow's grace. And faith that future grace will be there is the victory that overcomes the world.

Future Grace contains 31 chapters - one for each day of the month - including practical chapters on how faith in future grace defeats anxiety, pride, shame, lust, despondency and more.
