I am: living by future grace

Here's a quote from the book I'm reading.
"We can say that true gratitude does not give rise to the debtor's ethic because it gives rise to faith in future grace. With true gratitude there is such a delight in the worth of God's past grace, that we are driven on to experience more and more of it in the future...it is done by transforming gratitude into faith as it turns from contemplating the pleasures of past grace and starts contemplating the promises of the future. " — John Piper
My mind is blown by the future couple of chapters. It's a different perspective than what I've been taught as a kid.
I'm still don't understand it all, but I'm not alone reading this book. My mentor and I are going through the book together.
More to come...
