More quotes by J. I. Packer
God's overriding goal is to glorify Himself.
J. I. Packer
Repentance is more than just sorrow for the past repentance is a change of mind and heart, a new life of denying self and serving the Savior as king in self's place.
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
[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
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

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
For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?
J. I. Packer
If we pursue theological knowledge for its own sake, it's bound to go bad on us. It will make us proud and conceited.
J. I. Packer
The meaning of He will give us all things can be put thus: one day we will see that nothing - literally nothing - which could have increased our eternal happiness has been denied us, and that nothing - literally nothing - that could have reduced that happiness has been left with us.
J. I. Packer
The Son of God came to seek us where we are in order that he might bring us to be with him where he is.
J. I. Packer
Our are speculations are not the measure of our God.
J. I. Packer
Even when we cannot see the why and wherefore of God's dealings, we know that there is love in and behind them, and so we can rejoice always.
J. I. Packer
Creatures are not entitled to register complaints about their Creator.
J. I. Packer
The Life of true holiness is rooted in the soil of awed adoration
