Creatures are not entitled to register complaints about their Creator.
J. I. Packer
For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?
J. I. Packer
What matters supremely, therefore, is not, in the last analysis, the fact that I know God, but the larger fact which underlies it - the fact that He knows me.
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
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
I must ask the Lord to direct the Holy Spirit within me to drain the life out of sin and in prayer.
J. I. Packer
Im amazed at the amount of time people spend on the Internet.
J. I. Packer
What makes life worthwhile is having a big enough objective, something which catches our imagination and lays hold of our allegiance, and this the Christian has in a way that no other person has. For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?
J. I. Packer
Justification is the truly dramatic transition from the status of a condemned criminal awaiting a terrible sentence to that of an heir awaiting a fabulous inheritance.
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
God is good to all in some ways and to some in all ways.
J. I. Packer
Sanctification has a double aspect. Its positive side is vivification, the growing and maturing of the new man its negative side is mortification, the weakening and killing of the old man.
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
Evangelical churches are weaker than we realize because we dont teach the confessions and doctrine.
J. I. Packer
Evangelizing includes the endeavor to elicit a response to the truth taught.
J. I. Packer
Doctrinal preaching certainly bores the hypocrites but it is only doctrinal preaching that will save Christ's sheep.
J. I. Packer
A half-truth masquerading as the whole truth becomes a complete untruth.
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
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
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
