Future Grace
by John Piper · 428 pages · English
John Piper argues that faith in God's future promises — 'future grace' — is the key to overcoming sin and living in joyful obedience.
Piper argues that the driving force for overcoming sin is not primarily looking backward to the grace already received at the cross, but looking forward to the grace God promises for every future moment. He calls this future-oriented faith "future grace."
The book applies this principle to the most common temptations of the Christian life — anxiety, pride, lust, impatience — showing how trust in God's promises weakens the power of sin at its root.
