More quotes by J. I. Packer

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
Not until we have become humble and teachable, standing in awe of God's holiness and sovereignty...a cknowledging our own littleness, distrusting our own thoughts, and willing to have our minds turned upside down, can divine wisdom become ours.
J. I. Packer
There is, however, equally great incentive to worship and love God in the thought that, for some unfathomable reason, He wants me as His friend, and desires to be my friend, and has given His Son to die for me in order to realize this purpose. not merely that we know God, but that He knows us.
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
[N]obody can produce new evidence of your depravity that will make God change his mind. For God justified you with (so to speak) his eyes open. He knew the worst about you at the time when he accepted you for Jesus' sake and the verdict which he passed then was, and is, final.
J. I. Packer

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
Repentance is more than just sorrow for the past repentance is a change of mind and heart, a new life of denying self and serving the Savior as king in self's place.
J. I. Packer
A little knowledge OF God is worth more than a great deal of knowledge ABOUT him.
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
For dishonest thinking, however well-intentioned, can only discredit the cause it serves, and must in the long run boomerang disastrously on those who indulge in it.
J. I. Packer
God made life, and God alone can tell us its meaning.
J. I. Packer
Creatures are not entitled to register complaints about their Creator.
J. I. Packer
Joy is a condition that is experienced, but it is more than a feeling it is, primarily, a state of mind.
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
The peace of God is first and foremost peace with God.
