We are to order our lives by the light of His Law, not by our guesses about His plan.
J. I. Packer
Evangelical churches are weaker than we realize because we dont teach the confessions and doctrine.
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

J. I. Packer
The God of Israel is King of kings and Lord of lords... He know, and foreknows, all things, and his foreknowledge is foreordination he, therefore, will have the last word, both in world history and in the destiny of every man his kingdom and righteousness will triumph in the end, for neither men nor angels shall be able to thwart him.
J. I. Packer
You can know a lot about God and godliness and still not 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
Certainly true worship invigorates, but to plan invigoration is not necessarily to order worship.
J. I. Packer
God is good to all in some ways and to some in all ways.
J. I. Packer
The Life of true holiness is rooted in the soil of awed adoration
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
