We all profess that we are bo...

We all profess that we are bound for heaven, immortality, and glory: but is it any evidence that we really design it if all our thoughts are consumed about the trifles of this world, which we must leave behind us, and have only occasional thoughts of things above?

John Owen 259 quotes

As among all the doctrines of...

As among all the doctrines of the gospel, there is none opposed with more violence and subtlety than that concerning our regeneration by the immediate, powerful, effectual operation of the Holy Spirit of grace.

John Owen 259 quotes

The choicest believers, who a...

The choicest believers, who are assuredly freed from the condemning power of sin, ought yet to make it their business all their days to mortify the indwelling power of sin.

John Owen 259 quotes

God hath work to do in this w...

God hath work to do in this world; and to desert it because of its difficulties and entanglements, is to cast off His authority. It is not enough that we be just, that we be righteous, and walk with God in holiness; but we must also serve our generation, as David did before he fell asleep. God hath a work to do; and not to help Him is to oppose Him.

John Owen 259 quotes

There neither is, nor ever wa...

There neither is, nor ever was, in the world, nor ever shall be, the least dram of holiness, but what, flowing from Jesus Christ, is communicated by the Spirit, according to the truth and promise of the gospel.

John Owen 259 quotes

It is one thing to fear God a...

It is one thing to fear God as threatening, with a holy reverence, and another to be afraid of the evil threatened.

John Owen 259 quotes

He that stands still and suff...

He that stands still and suffers his enemies to double blows upon him without resistance, will undoubtedly be conquered in the issue.

John Owen 259 quotes

Assurance encourateth us in o...

Assurance encourateth us in our combat; it delivers us not from it. We may have peace with God when we have done from the assaults of Satan.

John Owen 259 quotes

Labour to grow better under a...

Labour to grow better under all your afflictions, lest your afflictions grow worse, lest God mingle them with more darkness, bitterness and terror.

John Owen 259 quotes

When sin lets us alone we may...

When sin lets us alone we may let sin alone.

John Owen 259 quotes

That wisdom which cannot teac...

That wisdom which cannot teach me that God is love, shall ever pass for folly.

John Owen 259 quotes

A man preacheth that sermon o...

A man preacheth that sermon only well unto others which preacheth itself in his own soul. And he that doth not feed on and thrive in the digestion of the food which he provides for others will scarce make it savoury unto them; yea, he knows not but the food he hath provided may be poison, unless he have really tasted of it himself. If the word do not dwell with power in us, it will not pass with power from us.

John Owen 259 quotes

All other ways of mortificati...

All other ways of mortification are vain, all helps leave us helpless; it must be done by the Spirit.

John Owen 259 quotes

The love of God is like himse...

The love of God is like himself – equal, constant, not capable of augmentation or diminution; our love is like ourselves – unequal, increasing, waning, growing, declining. His, like the sun, always the same in its light, though a cloud may sometimes interpose; ours, as the moon, has its enlargements and straightenings.

John Owen 259 quotes

Many there are who, not compr...

Many there are who, not comprehending, not being affected with, that divine, spiritual description of the person of Christ which is given us by the Holy Ghost in the Scripture, do feign unto themselves false representations of him by images and pictures, so as to excite carnal and corrupt affections in their minds. By the help of their outward senses, they reflect on their imaginations the shape of a human body, cast into postures and circumstances dolorous or triumphant; and so, by the working of their fancy, raise a commotion of mind in themselves, which they suppose to be love unto Christ.

John Owen 259 quotes

Your state is not at all to b...

Your state is not at all to be measured by the opposition that sin makes to you, but by the opposition you make to it.

John Owen 259 quotes

All attempts, then, for morti...

All attempts, then, for mortification of any lust, without an interest in Christ, are vain.

John Owen 259 quotes

He works in us and with us, n...

He works in us and with us, not against us or without us; so that his assistance is an encouragement to the facilitating of the work, and no occasion of neglect as to the work itself.

John Owen 259 quotes

You have your season, and you...

You have your season, and you have but your season; neither can you lie down in peace, until you have some persuasion that your work as well as your life is at an end.

John Owen 259 quotes

Let not that man think he mak...

Let not that man think he makes any progress in holiness who walks not over the bellies of his lusts. He who doth not kill sin in this way takes no steps toward his journey's end.
