His righteousness would simply be vindicated in their destruction … The cross witnesses to the infinite worth of God and the infinite outrage of sin.” Piper argues, “Without the cross, the righteousness of God would demonstrate itself only in the condemnation of sinners, and the goal of preaching would abort – God would not be glorified in the gladness of his sinful creatures. Therefore, the ground of preaching is the cross of Christ. The author demonstrates how God’s righteousness and the pride of man are obstacles to fulfilling the glorious goal of preaching. Piper argues, “The goal of preaching is the glory of God reflected in the glad submission of the human heart.” This theme of God’s glory matches the theme of the Bible and Redemptive history and should motivate every man who enters the pulpit with a Bible in hand.
