More quotes by J. I. Packer
We are not fit for a place in God's family the idea of his loving and exalting us sinners as he loves and has exalted the Lord Jesus sounds ludicrous and wild -- yet that, and nothing less than that, is what our adoption means.
J. I. Packer
A little knowledge OF God is worth more than a great deal of knowledge ABOUT him.
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
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
You can know a lot about God and godliness and still not know God.
J. I. Packer
Creatures are not entitled to register complaints about their Creator.
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
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
Arminianism is 'natural' in one sense, in that it represents a characteristic perversion of Biblical teaching by the fallen mind of man.
J. I. Packer
Trying to describe what I do in prayer would be like telling the world how I make love to my wife.
J. I. Packer
Sanctification has a double aspect. Its positive side is vivification, the growing and maturing of the new man its negative side is mortification, the weakening and killing of the old man.
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
Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfolded.
J. I. Packer
Once you become aware that the main business that you are here for is to know God, most of life's problems fall into place of their own accord.
J. I. Packer
Thank you, Mr.Lewis, for being you. I wouldn't have missed you for the world.
J. I. Packer
Our high and privileged calling is to do the will of God in the power of God for the glory of God.
J. I. Packer
Joy is a condition that is experienced, but it is more than a feeling it is, primarily, a state of mind.
J. I. Packer
Scripture is the most up-to-date and relevant reading that ever comes my way.
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
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
