J. I. Packer
Our are speculations are not the measure of our God.
J. I. Packer

J. I. Packer
The peace of God is first and foremost peace with God.

J. I. Packer
God made life, and God alone can tell us its meaning.
J. I. Packer
The healthy Christian is not necessarily the extrovert, ebullient Christian, but the Christian who has a sense of God's presence stamped deep on his soul, who trembles at God's word, who lets it dwell in him richly by constant meditation upon it, and who tests and reforms his life daily in response to it.
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
God’s wrath is his righteousness reacting against unrighteousness.
J. I. Packer
The measure of all love is its giving. The measure of the love of God is the cross of Christ.
J. I. Packer
The Holy Spirit is God the evangelist.
J. I. Packer
Have you been holding back from a risky, costly course to which you know in your heart God has called you? Hold back no longer. Your God is faithful to you, and adequate for you. You will never need more than He can supply, and what He supplies, both materially and spiritually, will always be enough for the present.
J. I. Packer
Repentance, as we know, is basically not moaning and remorse, but turning and change.
J. I. Packer
The more you praise, the more vigor you will have for prayer and the more you pray, the more matter you will have for praise.
J. I. Packer
