More quotes by J. I. Packer
If one preaches the Bible biblically, one cannot help preaching the gospel all the time.
J. I. Packer
A little knowledge OF God is worth more than a great deal of knowledge ABOUT him.
J. I. Packer
The stars may fall, but God's promises will stand and be fulfilled.
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
What makes life worthwhile is having a big enough objective, something which catches our imagination and lays hold of our allegiance, and this the Christian has in a way that no other person has. For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?
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
You can know a lot about God and godliness and still not know God.
J. I. Packer
[N]obody can produce new evidence of your depravity that will make God change his mind. For God justified you with (so to speak) his eyes open. He knew the worst about you at the time when he accepted you for Jesus' sake and the verdict which he passed then was, and is, final.
J. I. Packer
God is good to all in some ways and to some in all ways.
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
Underlying the preaching of the Puritans are three basic axioms: 1. The unique place of preaching is to convert, feed and sustain, 2. The life of the preacher must radiate the reality of what he preaches, 3. Prayer and solid Bible study are basic to effective preaching.
J. I. Packer
Our business is to present the Christian faith clothed in modern terms, not to propagate modern thought clothed in Christian terms... Confusion here is fatal.
J. I. Packer
God the Father is the giver of Holy Scripture God the Son is the theme of Holy Scripture and God the Spirit is the author, authenticator, and interpreter of Holy Scripture.
J. I. Packer
The gospel tells that our Judge has become our Savior.
J. I. Packer
He that has learned to feel his sins, and to trust Christ as a Saviour, has learned the two hardest and greatest lessons in Christianity.
J. I. Packer
The simple statement, 'God is for us', is in truth one of the richest and weightiest utterances that the Bible contains.
J. I. Packer
Evangelizing includes the endeavor to elicit a response to the truth taught.
J. I. Packer
What matters supremely, therefore, is not, in the last analysis, the fact that I know God, but the larger fact which underlies it - the fact that He knows me.
J. I. Packer
Pelagianism is the natural heresy of zealous Christians who are not interested in theology.
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
