On Christ’s glory I would fix all my thoughts and desires, and the more I see of the glory of Christ, the more the painted beauties of this world will wither in my eyes and I will be more and more crucified to this world. It will become to me like something dead and putrid, impossible for me to enjoy.

All things I thought I knew; ...

All things I thought I knew; but now confess
The more I know, I know, I know the less.

John Owen 259 quotes

A minister may fill his pews,...

A minister may fill his pews, his communion roll, the mouths of the public, but what that minister is on his knees in secret before God Almighty, that he is and no more.

He who prays as he ought will endeavor to live as he prays.

Temptation is like a knife, that may either cut the meat or the throat of a man it may be his food or his poison, his exercise or his destruction.

John Owen 259 quotes

The root of an unmortified cou...

The root of an unmortified course is the digestion of sin without bitterness in the heart.

John Owen 259 quotes

The person who understands the...

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

To believe that He will preser...

To believe that He will preserve us is, indeed, a means of preservation. God will certainly preserve us, and make a way of escape for us out of the temptation, should we fall. We are to pray for what God has already promised. Our requests are to be regulated by His promises and commands. Faith embraces the promises and so finds relief.

Christ's blood is the great sovereign remedy for sin-sick souls.

If a man teach uprightly and walk crookedly, more will fall down in the night of his life than he built in the day of his doctrine.

John Owen 259 quotes

Selfishness is the making a man's self his own centre, the beginning and end of all he doeth.

John Owen 259 quotes

Whatever vices and corruptions...

Whatever vices and corruptions men see in the lives of their ministers will not be attributed to the depravity of their old nature which still abides in them, but to the gospel.

John Owen 259 quotes

Christ did not die for any upo...

Christ did not die for any upon condition, if they do believe; but He died for all God's elect, that they should believe.

John Owen 259 quotes

It is a throne of grace that God in Christ is represented to us upon; but yet is is a throne still whereon majesty and glory do reside, and God is always to be considered by us as on a throne.

John Owen 259 quotes

No heart can conceive that tre...

No heart can conceive that treasury of mercies which lies in this one privilege, in having liberty and ability to approach unto God at all times, according to his mind and will.

John Owen 259 quotes

A river continually fed by a living fountain may as soon end its streams before it come to the ocean, as a stop be put to the course and progress of grace before it issue in glory.

John Owen 259 quotes

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

He that is more frequent in hi...

He that is more frequent in his pulpit to his people than he is in his closet for his people, is but a sorry watchman.

John Owen 259 quotes

Consider that it is not failing in this or that attempt to come to Christ, but a giving-over of your endeavors, that will be your ruin.

John Owen 259 quotes

Some relate . . . that the eag...

Some relate . . . that the eagle tries the eyes of her young by turning them to the sun; which if they cannot look steadily on, she rejects them as spurious. We may truly try our faith by immediate intuitions of the Sun of Righteousness. Direct faith to act itself, immediately and directly on the incarnation of Christ and His mediation; and if it be not the right kind and race, it will turn its eyes aside to anything else.
