More quotes by 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
The character of God is today, and always will be, exactly what it was in Bible times.
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
Think against your feelings argue yourself out of the gloom they have spread look up from your problems to the God of the gospel.
J. I. Packer
The very quality of books to read and facts to master with which the twentieth-century man is confronted encourages him to think broadly and superficially about much, but hinders him from thinking deeply and thoroughly about anything.
J. I. Packer
There is tremendous relief in knowing that His love to me is based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me.
J. I. Packer
The Holy Spirit is God the evangelist.
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
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
The Life of true holiness is rooted in the soil of awed adoration
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
One of the many divine qualities of the Bible is that it does not yield its secrets to the irreverent and the censorious.
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 more you praise, the more vigor you will have for prayer and the more you pray, the more matter you will have for praise.
J. I. Packer
Revival is the visitation of God which brings to life Christians who have been sleeping and restores a deep sense of God's near presence and holiness. Thence springs a vivid sense of sin and a profound exercise of heart in repentance, praise, and love, with an evangelistic outflow.
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
The gospel does in truth proclaim the redemption of reason. Obscurantism is always evil, and wilful error is always sin., All truth is God's truth facts, as such, are sacred, and nothing is more un-Christian than to run away from them.
J. I. Packer
Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfolded.
J. I. Packer
Doctrinal preaching certainly bores the hypocrites but it is only doctrinal preaching that will save Christ's sheep.
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
