More quotes by 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 God of Israel is King of kings and Lord of lords... He know, and foreknows, all things, and his foreknowledge is foreordination he, therefore, will have the last word, both in world history and in the destiny of every man his kingdom and righteousness will triumph in the end, for neither men nor angels shall be able to thwart him.
J. I. Packer
If one preaches the Bible biblically, one cannot help preaching the gospel all the time.
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
...love and pity for hell's occupants will not enter our hearts.
J. I. Packer
Our high and privileged calling is to do the will of God in the power of God for the glory of God.
J. I. Packer
There is nothing more irreligious than self-absorbed religion.
J. I. Packer
Real spiritual growth is always growth downward, so to speak, into profounder humility, which in healthy souls will become more and more apparent as they age.
J. I. Packer
God is good to all in some ways and to some in all ways.
J. I. Packer
Repentance, as we know, is basically not moaning and remorse, but turning and change.
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
Our best works are shot through with sin and contain something for which we need to be forgiven.
J. I. Packer
We need to discover all over again that worship is natural to the Christian, as it was to the godly Israelites who wrote the psalms, and that the habit of celebrating the greatness and graciousness of God yields an endless flow of thankfulness, joy, and zeal.
J. I. Packer
God’s wrath is his righteousness reacting against unrighteousness.
J. I. Packer
A little knowledge OF God is worth more than a great deal of knowledge ABOUT him.
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
The very quality of books to read and facts to master with which the twentieth-century man is confronted encourages him to think broadly and superficially about much, but hinders him from thinking deeply and thoroughly about anything.
J. I. Packer
What is a Christian? The richest answer I know is that a Christian is one who has God as Father.
J. I. Packer
Holy people glory, not in their holiness, but in Christ's cross for the holiest saint is never more than a justified sinner and never sees himself in any other way.
J. I. Packer
If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity, find out how much he makes of the thought of being God's child, and having God as his Father. If this is not the thought that prompts and controls his worship and prayers and his whole outlook on life, it means that he does not understand Christianity very well at all.
J. I. Packer
