I think John Piper is right that when we enjoy something, there should always be an element of enjoying God in that thing. God is all in all (1 Cor 15:28). But I would disagree that we should be grateful for something given by a mean-spirited person. I think gratitude is only appropriate in response to something that is given, at least partly, in love. So, for example, if a man gives me a hundred dollars so that someone else will give him a thousand dollars, and that is his only motivation in giving me the hundred dollars, I think it would be wrong for me to be grateful for the hundred dollars. I will be glad that I have the money, but I wouldn't be grateful, since I have not been shown any love.
We can see and be great full for the Lord even in the hardest trials of our lives, We can have joy in him no matter the circumstances. Even when my enemies mean to do harm, God will use it for good. God bless
@@jesusistheanswer2074 Yes, absolutely, we should always be grateful to God. My point was just that there are times when it is wrong to be grateful to mean-spirited people.
@@jesusistheanswer2074 I just mean that if somebody does something for me as a means to gaining something for himself, it wouldn't be right to be grateful.
But unto the Son he said, “Thy throne, O’ God” (Hebrews 1:8): God glorifies himself in his Son. Why? Jesus is just like his Father; all things God has, he has given to Jesus. God speaks and does all things through his Son (Hebrews 1:2); thus, Jesus is the brightness of his Father’s glory, and the express image of his Father, and the Father is well pleased in his Son’s representation of Him. Just as Jesus tells us, we are to strive to be one with them (John 17:22). In John 10:34, Jesus said “ye are gods;” by no means are we actual ‘gods,’ but we are to resemble God and do all things as Jesus did. This is what it means for us to become one even as *they* are one. It is the Father’s spirit that dwells in us that will raise the dead, cast out devils, and heal the sick; those who behold these wonders will witness the Father's power and spirit working through us. This is only true for those who are truly of God. As it is written in 2 Corinthians 6:16, “I will live in them and walk in them, and I will be their God and they will be my people.”
God says He desires and wills the salvation of all and He can change all of our hearts to believe and obey Him easily and He will do ALL of His pleasure according to the Bible. He says He will restore all, make all new, wipe tears from all faces and will eventually be “All in all!” Not one verse says God can’t forgive after death and many verses say He will, the gates of the New Jerusalem will “never be shut.” The gospel was preached to those who are dead, He went and preached to the spirits in prison…Behold, I make all things new!
I wonder if you’re making a case for every person being saved? Also that word is proclaimed. Not preached to the spirits in prison. He proclaimed that he had done it. He didn’t offer a chance for them to believe after death.
So to be consistent, the unelect get no hope of salvation, no grace towards salvation, no mercy in salvation & no joy because God/Christ is the source of true Joy. The more I compare Calvinism to scripture, the more evil it becomes.
All the things you mentioned God owes us none of them. The only thing God owes us is His wrath and judgement. When you come to understand then you understand why we should have more gratitude and adoration and worship towards God. If your view is He owes us any of the blessings you mentioned then Calvinism will seem evil. I believe reformed theology as a whole if understood and represented rightly is the most sound theology.
@@bagmediachannel I'm not surprised you believe that (about Calvinism). That sounds sanctimonious, but it isn't biblical. Most Calvinists aren't taught the Genesis to Revelation message of God sending His Son to redeem His greatest creation from wrath. Hence, they remain Calvinists.

And to assume reformed brothers and sisters haven’t been taught from Gen-Rev sounds more sanctimonious.

@@bagmediachannel Unfortunately, Reformed folks are taught wrongly. 👿 first & favorite go-to has always been "Hath God indeed said".

(John 6:40). Then after His crucification Jesus draws all (John 12:32). & the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin & righteousness (John 16:8).
