Confidence that one's impressions are God-given is no guarantee that this is really so, even when they persist and grow stronger through long seasons of prayer. Bible-based wisdom must judge them.

More quotes by J. I. Packer
Evangelical churches are weaker than we realize because we dont teach the confessions and doctrine.
J. I. Packer
If I were the devil I should broadcast doubts about the truths and relevance and good sense and straightforwardness of the Bible ... At all costs I should want to keep them from using their minds in a disciplined way to get the measure of its message.
J. I. Packer
Repentance is more than just sorrow for the past repentance is a change of mind and heart, a new life of denying self and serving the Savior as king in self's place.
J. I. Packer
The stars may fall, but God's promises will stand and be fulfilled.
J. I. Packer
Our best works are shot through with sin and contain something for which we need to be forgiven.
J. I. Packer
God then does not profess to answer in Scripture all the questions that we, in our boundless curiosity, would like to ask about Scripture. He tells us merely as much as He sees we need to know as a basis for our life of faith.
J. I. Packer
Knowing about God is crucially important for the living of our lives... Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfolded, as it were, with no sense of direction and no understanding of what surrounds you. This way you can waste your life and lose your soul.
J. I. Packer
Have you been holding back from a risky, costly course to which you know in your heart God has called you? Hold back no longer. Your God is faithful to you, and adequate for you. You will never need more than He can supply, and what He supplies, both materially and spiritually, will always be enough for the present.
J. I. Packer
The battle against pride in the heart is lifelong, so humility should become an ever more deeply seated attitude of living
J. I. Packer
We are not fit for a place in God's family the idea of his loving and exalting us sinners as he loves and has exalted the Lord Jesus sounds ludicrous and wild -- yet that, and nothing less than that, is what our adoption means.
J. I. Packer
Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfolded.
J. I. Packer
God the Father is the giver of Holy Scripture God the Son is the theme of Holy Scripture and God the Spirit is the author, authenticator, and interpreter of Holy Scripture.
J. I. Packer
A half-truth masquerading as the whole truth becomes a complete untruth.
J. I. Packer
God's wisdom is not, and never was, pledged to keep a fallen world happy, or to make ungodliness comfortable.
J. I. Packer
A little knowledge OF God is worth more than a great deal of knowledge ABOUT him.
J. I. Packer
Thank you, Mr.Lewis, for being you. I wouldn't have missed you for the world.
J. I. Packer
The Life of true holiness is rooted in the soil of awed adoration
J. I. Packer
God uses chronic pain and weakness, along with other afflictions, as his chisel for sculpting our lives.
J. I. Packer
God is triune there are within the Godhead three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and the work of salvation is one in which all three act together, the Father purposing redemption, the Son securing it and the Spirit applying it.
J. I. Packer
Living becomes an awesome business when you realize that you spend every moment of your life in the sight and company of an omniscient, omnipresent Creator.
J. I. Packer
