More quotes by 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 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
God made life, and God alone can tell us its meaning.
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
We meet God through entering into a relationship both of dependance on Jesus as our Saviour and Friend and of discipleship to Him as our Lord and Master.
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
Doctrinal preaching certainly bores the hypocrites but it is only doctrinal preaching that will save Christ's sheep.
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
A little knowledge OF God is worth more than a great deal of knowledge ABOUT him.
J. I. Packer
Wherever Christianity has produced what historians call a 'popular piety' claiming to be part of the national heritage, anti-Christian reaction among the intelligentsia has followed.
J. I. Packer
Evangelizing includes the endeavor to elicit a response to the truth taught.
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 peace of God is first and foremost peace with God.
J. I. Packer
Suffering is getting what you do not want while wanting what you do not get.
J. I. Packer
The truth is that, though we were justified by faith alone, the faith that justifies is never alone (it always produces fruit, 'good works,'...a transformed life).
J. I. Packer
A simple Bible reader and sermon hearer who is full of the Holy Spirit will develop a far deeper acquaintance with his God and Savior than a more learned scholar who is content with being theologically correct.
J. I. Packer
His purpose is simply to draw us closer to Himself in conscious communion with Him.
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
I need not torment myself with the fear that my faith may fail as grace led me to faith in the first place, so grace will keep me believing to the end. Faith, both in its origin and continuance, is a gift of grace (Phil 1:29).
J. I. Packer
I must ask the Lord to direct the Holy Spirit within me to drain the life out of sin and in prayer.
J. I. Packer
