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
Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfolded.
J. I. Packer
God is triune there are within the Godhead three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and the work of salvation is one in which all three act together, the Father purposing redemption, the Son securing it and the Spirit applying it.
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
The Holy Spirit is God the evangelist.
J. I. Packer

J. I. Packer
The way to be truly happy is to be truly human, and the way to be truly human is to be truly godly.
J. I. Packer
The Christmas message is that there is hope for a ruined humanity--hope of pardon, hope of peace with God, hope of glory--because at the Father's will Jesus became poor, and was born in a stable so that thirty years later He might hang on a cross.
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
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
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
What God does in time, He planned from eternity. And all that He planned in eternity He carries out in time.
J. I. Packer
Revelation does not mean man finding God, but God finding man, God sharing His secrets with us, God showing us Himself. In revelation, God is the agent as well as the object.
J. I. Packer
Any theology that does not lead to song is, at a fundamental level, a flawed theology.
J. I. Packer
You can know a lot about God and godliness and still not know God.
J. I. Packer
Our best works are shot through with sin and contain something for which we need to be forgiven.
J. I. Packer
The gospel tells that our Judge has become our Savior.
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
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
Thank you, Mr.Lewis, for being you. I wouldn't have missed you for the world.
J. I. Packer
