More quotes by J. I. Packer
If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity, find out how much he makes of the thought of being God's child, and having God as his Father. If this is not the thought that prompts and controls his worship and prayers and his whole outlook on life, it means that he does not understand Christianity very well at all.
J. I. Packer
The healthy Christian is not necessarily the extrovert, ebullient Christian, but the Christian who has a sense of God's presence stamped deep on his soul, who trembles at God's word, who lets it dwell in him richly by constant meditation upon it, and who tests and reforms his life daily in response to it.
J. I. Packer
A little knowledge OF God is worth more than a great deal of knowledge ABOUT him.
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
What God does in time, He planned from eternity. And all that He planned in eternity He carries out in time.
J. I. Packer
To know that nothing happens in God's world apart from God's will may frighten the godless, but it stabilizes the saints.
J. I. Packer
Suffering is getting what you do not want while wanting what you do not get.
J. I. Packer
Scripture is the most up-to-date and relevant reading that ever comes my way.
J. I. Packer
N.T. Wright foregrounds what the Bible backgrounds, and backgrounds what the Bible foregrounds
J. I. Packer
Revival is the visitation of God which brings to life Christians who have been sleeping and restores a deep sense of God's near presence and holiness. Thence springs a vivid sense of sin and a profound exercise of heart in repentance, praise, and love, with an evangelistic outflow.
J. I. Packer
Repentance, as we know, is basically not moaning and remorse, but turning and change.
J. I. Packer
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
The Holy Spirit is God the evangelist.
J. I. Packer
My advice to a new husband is nothing more than 'husbands, love your wives.' And 'love your wife as Christ has loved the church.' Never forget that you are Christ's representative in serving your wife.
J. I. Packer
There's a difference between knowing God and knowing about God. When you truly know God, you have energy to serve Him, boldness to share Him, and contentment in Him.
J. I. Packer
Sinners cannot obey the gospel, any more than the law, without renewal of heart.
J. I. Packer
Holy people glory, not in their holiness, but in Christ's cross for the holiest saint is never more than a justified sinner and never sees himself in any other way.
J. I. Packer
Evangelizing includes the endeavor to elicit a response to the truth taught.
J. I. Packer
Your faith will not fail while God sustains it you are not strong enough to fall away while God is resolved to hold you.
J. I. Packer
What is a Christian? The richest answer I know is that a Christian is one who has God as Father.
J. I. Packer
