What Is Saving Faith? Reflections on Receiving Christ as a Treasure is unavailable, but you can change that!

What happens in the heart when it experiences real saving faith? John Piper argues that faith in Christ is not saving unless it includes what he calls “the affectional dimension of treasuring Christ.” Nor is God glorified as he ought to be unless he is treasured in being trusted. Saving faith in Jesus Christ welcomes him forever as our supreme and inexhaustible pleasure. What Is Saving Faith?...

satisfaction in all that God is for us in Jesus, including all that God promises to be for us in Christ. This satisfaction in Christ is not merely a result of saving faith but part of what it is.11 The book attempted to show how that experience of saving faith breaks the power of sin and empowers love for our neighbor. Now I am returning, in the present book, to provide a more exegetically thorough foundation for the claim that faith has affectional dimensions and to clarify what those are.
