J. I. Packer
...love and pity for hell's occupants will not enter our hearts.
J. I. Packer
The Trinity is the basis of the gospel, and the gospel is a declaration of the Trinity in action.
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
Repentance, as we know, is basically not moaning and remorse, but turning and change.
J. I. Packer
The Almighty appeared on earth as a helpless human baby, needing to be fed and changed and taught to talk like any other child. The more you think about it, the more staggering it gets. Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as this truth of the Incarnation.
J. I. Packer
Even when we cannot see the why and wherefore of God's dealings, we know that there is love in and behind them, and so we can rejoice always.
J. I. Packer

J. I. Packer
A simple Bible reader and sermon hearer who is full of the Holy Spirit will develop a far deeper acquaintance with his God and Savior than a more learned scholar who is content with being theologically correct.
J. I. Packer
I need not torment myself with the fear that my faith may fail as grace led me to faith in the first place, so grace will keep me believing to the end. Faith, both in its origin and continuance, is a gift of grace (Phil 1:29).
J. I. Packer
The Holy Spirit is God the evangelist.
J. I. Packer
Sinners cannot obey the gospel, any more than the law, without renewal of heart.
J. I. Packer
The gift of sonship to God becomes ours not through being born, but through being born again.
J. I. Packer
What God does in time, He planned from eternity. And all that He planned in eternity He carries out in time.
J. I. Packer
God uses chronic pain and weakness, along with other afflictions, as his chisel for sculpting our lives.
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
The more you praise, the more vigor you will have for prayer and the more you pray, the more matter you will have for praise.
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
