Not illustrated. 1863 edition. Excerpt: ...Thou didst suffer most, And, from the cross, the blood which stain'd Thy face Spake with the voice of mercy to the lost. Of all the gifts, O Lord, Thy grace bestows, The highest is the pow'r to grasp by faith, The purpose of those agonizing woes Which made Thee sorrow even unto death; To see Thee scourg'd and bruis'd and put to shame, Dying like one forsaken of Thy God, That sinful man may stand before the Lamb, Heal'd by Thy stripes; redeemed by Thy blood. By the same faith we see Thee living now, Thy spiritual temple to complete; Weaving a crown of glory for the brow Of ev'ry saint when Thou hast made him meet. When Satan, through a conscious sense of sin, Brings darkness on the soul, and seeks to mar Thy perfect work; the Spirit from within Bids us to look to Thee, our morning star. We see sin pardon'd, and the guilt remov'd; In Thee the soul both cleans'd, and sanctified; That one whose death hath prov'd how much He lov'd, "Will not forsake the souls for whom He died. Thus too in ev'ry conflict, ev'ry strife, Distress of nations, and alarms of war, In all the varied ills of human life, We look to Thee, our bright and morning star. They who by faith the promises receive, Are cheer'd and guided in the darkest hour; While all things else may fail us or deceive, With Thee abide unchanging love and power. All earthly kingdoms fall, their crowns decay, The links of earthly greatness time will sever; Their fading glory but proclaims the day When Thou shalt claim the throne, and reign for ever. But oh! how weak my faith, how dim the sight I have of all Thy glory and Thy grace; Shine in my heart and scatter by Thy light The gloom which will not let me see Thy face. In this world's darkness still I look to Thee; Oh! may Thine eyes beam on...

Book Description
God has provided a way for all people, not just scholars, to know that the Bible is the Word of God. John Piper has devoted his life to showing us that the glory of God is object of the soul’s happiness. Now, his burden in this book is to demonstrate that this same glory is the ground of the mind’s certainty. God’s peculiar glory shines through his Word. The Spirit of God enlightens the eyes of our hearts. And in one self-authenticating sight, our minds are sure and our hearts are satisfied. Justified certainty and solid joy meet in the peculiar glory of God.

Book Description
Soteriology, not epistemology, is the best entrance to theological hermeneutics and to the doctrine of Scripture. The triune God uses Scripture to make the community of believers live in Christ. We hear the words of Scripture in the light of Easter and Pentecost. We understand Scripture from faith in Christ and with the mind of Christ. At the same time, we come to know Christ in Scripture and we receive the mind of Christ by reading Scripture. We remain in Christ by remaining in the Word. Understanding Scripture and Christlikeness mutually reinforce each other. Living a Christian life with God and our neighbor in God’s world will deepen our understanding of Scripture. This book explores the complex relationships between Jesus Christ, participation in Christ, theological hermeneutics, and the doctrine of Scripture. It shows the necessity of a holistic approach of life, knowledge, understanding, and renewal.
