There is no more important issue in life than seeing Jesus for who he really is and savoring him above all else. Every word in the Bible is written for this reason, so that we could “taste and see that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8).” So when we read our Bibles, we don’t just want to learn about Jesus — we want to love him.

In the three minute video above, John Piper explains the ultimate reason why God gave us a Bible, and the ultimate purpose for our own Bible reading.

John Piper

In this book, John Piper helps us read the Bible for ourselves so that we might take part in God’s glorious purpose — to see and enjoy his glory.
