More quotes by 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
The gospel tells that our Judge has become our Savior.
J. I. Packer
Our high and privileged calling is to do the will of God in the power of God for the glory of God.
J. I. Packer
The very quality of books to read and facts to master with which the twentieth-century man is confronted encourages him to think broadly and superficially about much, but hinders him from thinking deeply and thoroughly about anything.
J. I. Packer
Trying to describe what I do in prayer would be like telling the world how I make love to my wife.
J. I. Packer

J. I. Packer
The Son of God came to seek us where we are in order that he might bring us to be with him where he is.
J. I. Packer
Scripture is the most up-to-date and relevant reading that ever comes my way.

J. I. Packer
Any theology that does not lead to song is, at a fundamental level, a flawed theology.
J. I. Packer
There is nothing more irreligious than self-absorbed religion.
J. I. Packer
N.T. Wright foregrounds what the Bible backgrounds, and backgrounds what the Bible foregrounds
J. I. Packer
He that has learned to feel his sins, and to trust Christ as a Saviour, has learned the two hardest and greatest lessons in Christianity.
J. I. Packer
The Holy Spirit is God the evangelist.
J. I. Packer
There's a difference between knowing God and knowing about God. When you truly know God, you have energy to serve Him, boldness to share Him, and contentment in Him.
J. I. Packer
It is often the case, as all the saints know, that fellowship with the Father and the Son is most vivid and sweet, and Christian joy is greatest, when the cross is heaviest.
J. I. Packer
For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?
J. I. Packer
