The goal of Bible reading is not only that we would see God, but that we would also enjoy him. But more than that, we don’t just want to see and savor God’s glory privately within us — we want it to conform us to that glory, so that others can see and experience God’s glory through us. This, then, is the last goal of Bible reading: to be changed from one degree of glory to another, by beholding the glory of the Lord (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Reading the Bible Supernaturally

Seeing and Savoring the Glory of God in Scripture

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.
