(video) John Piper: Look at the Kindness and the Severity of God — “Don’t just look at one of these. Look at both if you would stay in the kindness of God” • “What is the function of fear in helping me stay saved?” • “We are made to be safely afraid of Infinite Power”

Really deep and healthy — life-giving!

John even has a theory as to why people like to be scared watching horror movies. Interesting.

“Don’t just look at one of these.
Look at both if you would stay in the kindness of God.”

“What is the function of fear in helping me stay saved?”

“Just like it says in Philippians 2:12:
‘Work out your salvation through fear and trembling.'”

“We are made to be safely afraid of Infinite Power.”

– John Piper
