More quotes by J. I. Packer
For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?
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
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
God's wisdom is not, and never was, pledged to keep a fallen world happy, or to make ungodliness comfortable.
J. I. Packer
Your faith will not fail while God sustains it you are not strong enough to fall away while God is resolved to hold you.
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
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
Confidence that one's impressions are God-given is no guarantee that this is really so, even when they persist and grow stronger through long seasons of prayer. Bible-based wisdom must judge them.
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
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
Meditation is the activity of calling to mind, and thinking over, and dwelling on, and applying to oneself, the various things that one knows about the works and ways and purposes and promises of God.
J. I. Packer
Our are speculations are not the measure of our God.
J. I. Packer
The Church no more gave us the New Testament canon than Isaac Newton gave us the force of gravity.
J. I. Packer
If we pursue theological knowledge for its own sake, it's bound to go bad on us. It will make us proud and conceited.
J. I. Packer
Evangelical churches are weaker than we realize because we dont teach the confessions and doctrine.
J. I. Packer
God uses chronic pain and weakness, along with other afflictions, as his chisel for sculpting our lives.
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
If one preaches the Bible biblically, one cannot help preaching the gospel all the time.
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 Christian's instinct of trust and worship are stimulated very powerfully by knowledge of the greatness of God.
J. I. Packer
