More quotes by J. I. Packer
Simple assent to the gospel, divorced from a transforming commitment to the living Christ, is by Biblical standards less than faith, and less than saving, and to elicit only assent of this kind would be to secure only false conversions.
J. I. Packer
Jesus' pattern prayer, which is both crutch, road, and walking lesson for the spiritually lame like ourselves, tells us to start with God: for God matters infinitely more than we do.
J. I. Packer
If our theology does not quicken the conscience and soften the heart, it actually hardens both.
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
What is a Christian? The richest answer I know is that a Christian is one who has God as Father.
J. I. Packer
To know that nothing happens in God's world apart from God's will may frighten the godless, but it stabilizes the saints.
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 battle against pride in the heart is lifelong, so humility should become an ever more deeply seated attitude of living
J. I. Packer
The character of God is today, and always will be, exactly what it was in Bible times.
J. I. Packer
We are to order our lives by the light of His Law, not by our guesses about His plan.
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
We complain today that ministers do not know how to preach but is it not equally true that our congregations do not know how to hear?
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
The peace of God is first and foremost peace with God it is the state of affairs in which God, instead of being against us, is for us. No account of God's peace which does not start here can do other than mislead.
J. I. Packer
Thank you, Mr.Lewis, for being you. I wouldn't have missed you for the world.
J. I. Packer
Grace means God sending his only Son to the cross to descend into hell so that we guilty ones might be reconciled to God and received into heaven.
J. I. Packer
Our are speculations are not the measure of our God.
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
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
