So is the cross for God’s glory, or for our salvation? Yes! There is no competition between God’s glory and our well-being. As John Piper famously said, “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.” Scripture repeatedly states that God’s glory is good news to a world darkened by sin (2 Cor 4:4). Just as the radiance of the sun produces life and flourishing throughout the earth, so the radiance of God’s glory is both the source of our salvation and the means for our growth.
