More quotes by J. I. Packer
Revelation does not mean man finding God, but God finding man, God sharing His secrets with us, God showing us Himself. In revelation, God is the agent as well as the object.
J. I. Packer
God's overriding goal is to glorify Himself.
J. I. Packer
Suffering is getting what you do not want while wanting what you do not get.
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
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
We need to discover all over again that worship is natural to the Christian, as it was to the godly Israelites who wrote the psalms, and that the habit of celebrating the greatness and graciousness of God yields an endless flow of thankfulness, joy, and zeal.
J. I. Packer
Our are speculations are not the measure of our God.
J. I. Packer
Real spiritual growth is always growth downward, so to speak, into profounder humility, which in healthy souls will become more and more apparent as they age.
J. I. Packer

J. I. Packer

J. I. Packer

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
Joy is a condition that is experienced, but it is more than a feeling it is, primarily, a state of mind.
J. I. Packer
Pelagianism is the natural heresy of zealous Christians who are not interested in theology.
J. I. Packer
God has spoken to man, and the Bible is his Word, given to us to make us wise unto salvation... Godliness means responding to God's revelation in trust and obedience, faith and worship, prayer and praise, submission and service. Life must be seen and lived in the light of God's Word. This, and nothing else, is true religion.
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
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
God made us thinking beings, and he guides our minds as we think things out in his presence.
J. I. Packer
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
