Unless we are thoroughly conv...

Unless we are thoroughly convinced that without Christ we are under the eternal curse of God, as the worst of His enemies, we shall never flee to Him for refuge.

John Owen 259 quotes

Be killing sin or it will be killing you.

John Owen 259 quotes

If private revelations agree ...

If private revelations agree with Scripture, they are needless, and if they disagree, they are false.

John Owen 259 quotes

To those to whom Christ is the hope of future glory, he is also the life of present grace.

John Owen 259 quotes

The person who understands th...

The person who understands the evil in his own heart is the only person who is useful, fruitful, and solid in his beliefs and obedience. Others only delude themselves and thus upset families, churches, and all other relationships. In their self-pride and judgment of others, they show great inconsistency.

John Owen 259 quotes

We can have no power from Christ unless we live in a persuasion that we have none of our own.

John Owen 259 quotes

The purpose of our holy and r...

The purpose of our holy and righteous God was to save his church, but their sin could not go unpunished. It was, therefore, necessary that the punishment for that sin be transferred from those who deserved it but could not bear it, to one who did not deserve it but was able to bear it.

John Owen 259 quotes

The growth of trees and plant...

The growth of trees and plants takes place so slowly that it is not easily seen. Daily we notice little change. But, in course of time, we see that a great change has taken place. So it is with grace. Sanctification is a progressive, lifelong work (Prov 4:18). It is an amazing work of God's grace and it is a work to be prayed for (Rom 8:27).

John Owen 259 quotes

See in the meantime that your faith brings forth obedience, and God in due time will cause it to bring forth peace.

John Owen 259 quotes

Great winds and storms help f...

Great winds and storms help fruit-bearing trees. So also do corruptions and temptations help the fruitfulness of grace and holiness. The storm loosens the earth round its roots so the tree is able to get its roots deeper into the earth, where it receives fresh supplies of nourishment. But only much later will it be seen to bring forth better fruit. So corruptions and temptations develop the roots of humility, self-abasement and mourning in a deeper search for that grace by which holiness grows strong. But only later will there be visible fruits of increased holiness.

John Owen 259 quotes

Christ is the meat, the bread...

Christ is the meat, the bread, the food of our souls. Nothing is in him of a higher spiritual nourishment than his love, which we should always desire.

John Owen 259 quotes

We shall not benefit from rea...

We shall not benefit from reading the Old Testament unless we look for and meditate on the glory of Christ in its pages.

John Owen 259 quotes

The foundation of true holine...

The foundation of true holiness and true Christian worship is the doctrine of the gospel, what we are to believe. So when Christian doctrine is neglected, forsaken, or corrupted, true holiness and worship will also be neglected, forsaken, and corrupted.

John Owen 259 quotes

Do you mortify; do you make it your daily work; be always at it whilst you live; cease not a day from this work; be killing sin or it will be killing you.

John Owen 259 quotes

We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love.

John Owen 259 quotes

When the Holy Spirit sanctifi...

When the Holy Spirit sanctifies believers, he does a complete work in them. He puts into their minds, wills and hearts a gracious, supernatural principle which fills them with a holy desire to live to God. The whole life and being of holiness lies in this. This is the new creation.

John Owen 259 quotes

As a tender and loving friend...

As a tender and loving friend is grieved at the unkindness of his friend... so is it with this tender and loving Spirit, who hath chosen our hearts for a habitation to dwell in.

John Owen 259 quotes

He that hath slight thoughts ...

He that hath slight thoughts of sin, never had great thoughts of God.

John Owen 259 quotes

When someone sets his affecti...

When someone sets his affections upon the cross and the love of Christ, he crucifies the world as a dead and undesirable thing. The baits of sin lose their attraction and disappear. Fill your affections with the cross of Christ and you will find no room for sin.

John Owen 259 quotes

To say that we are able by ou...

To say that we are able by our own efforts to think good thoughts or give God spiritual obedience before we are spiritually regenerate is to overthrow the gospel and the faith of the universal church in all ages.
