More quotes by J. I. Packer
The measure of all love is its giving. The measure of the love of God is the cross of Christ.
J. I. Packer
The Evangelical is not afraid of facts, for he knows that all facts are God's facts nor is he afraid of thinking, for he knows that all truth is God's truth, and right reason cannot endanger sound faith.
J. I. Packer
Once you become aware that the main business that you are here for is to know God, most of life's problems fall into place of their own accord.
J. I. Packer
The truth is that, though we were justified by faith alone, the faith that justifies is never alone (it always produces fruit, 'good works,'...a transformed life).
J. I. Packer
If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity, find out how much he makes of the thought of being God's child, and having God as his Father. If this is not the thought that prompts and controls his worship and prayers and his whole outlook on life, it means that he does not understand Christianity very well at all.
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
God has spoken to man, and the Bible is his Word, given to us to make us wise unto salvation... Godliness means responding to God's revelation in trust and obedience, faith and worship, prayer and praise, submission and service. Life must be seen and lived in the light of God's Word. This, and nothing else, is true religion.
J. I. Packer
Meditation is the activity of calling to mind, and thinking over, and dwelling on, and applying to oneself, the various things that one knows about the works and ways and purposes and promises of God.
J. I. Packer
The Church no more gave us the New Testament canon than Isaac Newton gave us the force of gravity.
J. I. Packer
Our business is to present the Christian faith clothed in modern terms, not to propagate modern thought clothed in Christian terms... Confusion here is fatal.
J. I. Packer
[N]obody can produce new evidence of your depravity that will make God change his mind. For God justified you with (so to speak) his eyes open. He knew the worst about you at the time when he accepted you for Jesus' sake and the verdict which he passed then was, and is, final.
J. I. Packer
Our are speculations are not the measure of our God.
J. I. Packer
To know that nothing happens in God's world apart from God's will may frighten the godless, but it stabilizes the saints.
J. I. Packer
There is tremendous relief in knowing that His love to me is based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me.
J. I. Packer
God’s wrath is his righteousness reacting against unrighteousness.
J. I. Packer
You can know a lot about God and godliness and still not know God.
J. I. Packer
God's love is an exercise of his goodness toward sinners who merit only condemnation.
J. I. Packer
N.T. Wright foregrounds what the Bible backgrounds, and backgrounds what the Bible foregrounds
J. I. Packer
We are to order our lives by the light of His Law, not by our guesses about His plan.
J. I. Packer
Revival is the visitation of God which brings to life Christians who have been sleeping and restores a deep sense of God's near presence and holiness. Thence springs a vivid sense of sin and a profound exercise of heart in repentance, praise, and love, with an evangelistic outflow.
J. I. Packer
