More quotes by J. I. Packer

Image
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
Image
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
Image
The very quality of books to read and facts to master with which the twentieth-century man is confronted encourages him to think broadly and superficially about much, but hinders him from thinking deeply and thoroughly about anything.
J. I. Packer
Image
The grace of God is love freely shown toward guilty sinners, contrary to their merit and indeed in defiance of their demerit.

J. I. Packer
Image
The stars may fall, but God's promises will stand and be fulfilled.
J. I. Packer
Image
Simple assent to the gospel, divorced from a transforming commitment to the living Christ, is by Biblical standards less than faith, and less than saving, and to elicit only assent of this kind would be to secure only false conversions.
J. I. Packer
Image
The Christian's instinct of trust and worship are stimulated very powerfully by knowledge of the greatness of God.
J. I. Packer
Image
The peace of God is first and foremost peace with God it is the state of affairs in which God, instead of being against us, is for us. No account of God's peace which does not start here can do other than mislead.
J. I. Packer
Image
God’s wrath is his righteousness reacting against unrighteousness.
J. I. Packer
Image
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
Image
The way to be truly happy is to be truly human, and the way to be truly human is to be truly godly.
J. I. Packer
Image
What is a Christian? The richest answer I know is that a Christian is one who has God as Father.
J. I. Packer
Image
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.

To know that nothing happens in God's world apart from God's will may frighten the godless, but it stabilizes the saints.
