More quotes by J. I. Packer
God uses chronic pain and weakness, along with other afflictions, as his chisel for sculpting our lives.
J. I. Packer
Evangelical churches are weaker than we realize because we dont teach the confessions and doctrine.
J. I. Packer
There are two sorts of sick consciences, those that are not aware enough of sin and those that are not aware enough of pardon.
J. I. Packer
A little knowledge OF God is worth more than a great deal of knowledge ABOUT him.
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 God whom we could understand exhaustively, and whose revelation of Himself confronted us with no mysteries whatsoever, would be a God in man's image, and therefore an imaginary God, not the God of the Bible at all.
J. I. Packer
The Evangelical is not afraid of facts, for he knows that all facts are God's facts nor is he afraid of thinking, for he knows that all truth is God's truth, and right reason cannot endanger sound faith.
J. I. Packer
Justification is the truly dramatic transition from the status of a condemned criminal awaiting a terrible sentence to that of an heir awaiting a fabulous inheritance.
J. I. Packer
Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfolded.
J. I. Packer
Jesus' pattern prayer, which is both crutch, road, and walking lesson for the spiritually lame like ourselves, tells us to start with God: for God matters infinitely more than we do.
J. I. Packer
The fruit of wisdom is Christlikeness, peace, humility and love. And, the root of it is faith in Christ as the manifested wisdom of God
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 Almighty appeared on earth as a helpless human baby, needing to be fed and changed and taught to talk like any other child. The more you think about it, the more staggering it gets. Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as this truth of the Incarnation.
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
Sinners cannot obey the gospel, any more than the law, without renewal of heart.
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 does in truth proclaim the redemption of reason. Obscurantism is always evil, and wilful error is always sin., All truth is God's truth facts, as such, are sacred, and nothing is more un-Christian than to run away from them.
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
The character of God is today, and always will be, exactly what it was in Bible times.
J. I. Packer
One of the many divine qualities of the Bible is that it does not yield its secrets to the irreverent and the censorious.
