More quotes by J. I. Packer
Trying to describe what I do in prayer would be like telling the world how I make love to my wife.
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
God uses chronic pain and weakness, along with other afflictions, as his chisel for sculpting our lives.
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
God is good to all in some ways and to some in all ways.
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
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
A little knowledge OF God is worth more than a great deal of knowledge ABOUT him.
J. I. Packer
A simple Bible reader and sermon hearer who is full of the Holy Spirit will develop a far deeper acquaintance with his God and Savior than a more learned scholar who is content with being theologically correct.
J. I. Packer
Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfolded.
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
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
Repentance, as we know, is basically not moaning and remorse, but turning and change.
J. I. Packer
Our are speculations are not the measure of our God.
J. I. Packer
The gift of sonship to God becomes ours not through being born, but through being born again.
J. I. Packer
Suffering is getting what you do not want while wanting what you do not get.
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
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
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
Sinners cannot obey the gospel, any more than the law, without renewal of heart.
J. I. Packer
