Finishing life to the glory of Christ means resolutely resisting the typical American dream of retirement. It means being so satisfied with all that God promises to be for us in Christ that we are set free from the cravings that create so much emptiness and uselessness in retirement. Instead, knowing that we have an infinitely satisfying and everlasting inheritance in God just over the horizon of life makes us zealous in our few remaining years here to spend ourselves in the sacrifices of love, not the accumulation of comforts.
John Piper

God reaches out to us through all of our senses, and even within ourselves…

 

  1.  Ever since the creation of the world his [God’s] invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made. (Romans 1:20)

The majesty of the physical world powerfully, perpetually, and irrefutably demonstrates two truths to all rational beings: (a) There is a God sufficiently powerful to have crafted the cosmos, and (b) this God deserves man’s worship.

 

2. What [God] requires is written on our hearts, while our conscience also bears witness and our conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse us.  (Romans 2:15)

[This is] the testimony of God in the moral universe —the witness of a conscience that assaults us when we act wickedly and commends us when we do good. This is an internal witness, and it demonstrates that the God who placed His law in our hearts will hold us accountable for our wickedness.

 

God loves us.  Why would he stop calling out to us, to rescue us?
