J. I. Packer
Knowing about God is crucially important for the living of our lives...

J. I. Packer
If you are walking backward, away from something you think is a mistake, you may be right in supposing it is a mistake, but for you to be walking backward is never right. You know what happens to people who walk backward.... We are meant to walk forward, not backward, and reaction is always a matter of walking backward.
J. I. Packer

J. I. Packer
The Life of true holiness is rooted in the soil of awed adoration
J. I. Packer
Our best works are shot through with sin and contain something for which we need to be forgiven.
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
God made us thinking beings, and he guides our minds as we think things out in his presence.
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
If one preaches the Bible biblically, one cannot help preaching the gospel all the time.
J. I. Packer
Our are speculations are not the measure of our God.
J. I. Packer
The unceasing activity of the Creator whereby, in overflowing bounty and goodwill, He upholds His creatures in ordered existence, guides and governs all events, circumstances, and free acts of angels and men, and directs everything to its appointed goal, for His own glory.
J. I. Packer
