More quotes by J. I. Packer
The peace of God is first and foremost peace with God.
J. I. Packer
Your faith will not fail while God sustains it you are not strong enough to fall away while God is resolved to hold you.
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
Real spiritual growth is always growth downward, so to speak, into profounder humility, which in healthy souls will become more and more apparent as they age.
J. I. Packer
Underlying the preaching of the Puritans are three basic axioms: 1. The unique place of preaching is to convert, feed and sustain, 2. The life of the preacher must radiate the reality of what he preaches, 3. Prayer and solid Bible study are basic to effective preaching.
J. I. Packer
We meet God through entering into a relationship both of dependance on Jesus as our Saviour and Friend and of discipleship to Him as our Lord and Master.
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
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 gift of sonship to God becomes ours not through being born, but through being born again.
J. I. Packer
We need to discover all over again that worship is natural to the Christian, as it was to the godly Israelites who wrote the psalms, and that the habit of celebrating the greatness and graciousness of God yields an endless flow of thankfulness, joy, and zeal.
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
God's love is an exercise of his goodness toward sinners who merit only condemnation.
J. I. Packer
My advice to a new husband is nothing more than 'husbands, love your wives.' And 'love your wife as Christ has loved the church.' Never forget that you are Christ's representative in serving your wife.
J. I. Packer
The meaning of He will give us all things can be put thus: one day we will see that nothing - literally nothing - which could have increased our eternal happiness has been denied us, and that nothing - literally nothing - that could have reduced that happiness has been left with us.
J. I. Packer
Joy is a condition that is experienced, but it is more than a feeling it is, primarily, a state of mind.
J. I. Packer
You can know a lot about God and godliness and still not know God.
J. I. Packer
There are two sorts of sick consciences, those that are not aware enough of sin and those that are not aware enough of pardon.
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
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
Suffering is getting what you do not want while wanting what you do not get.
J. I. Packer
