More quotes by J. I. Packer
Once you become aware that the main business that you are here for is to know God, most of life's problems fall into place of their own accord.
J. I. Packer
The essence of God's action in wrath is to give people what they choose, in all its implications.
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
Repentance, as we know, is basically not moaning and remorse, but turning and change.
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
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
Evangelical churches are weaker than we realize because we dont teach the confessions and doctrine.
J. I. Packer
Suffering is getting what you do not want while wanting what you do not get.
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
The Life of true holiness is rooted in the soil of awed adoration
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
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
Certainly true worship invigorates, but to plan invigoration is not necessarily to order worship.
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
Knowing about God is crucially important for the living of our lives... Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfolded, as it were, with no sense of direction and no understanding of what surrounds you. This way you can waste your life and lose your soul.
J. I. Packer
If one preaches the Bible biblically, one cannot help preaching the gospel all the time.
J. I. Packer
God then does not profess to answer in Scripture all the questions that we, in our boundless curiosity, would like to ask about Scripture. He tells us merely as much as He sees we need to know as a basis for our life of faith.
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
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
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
