More quotes by 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
Justification is the truly dramatic transition from the status of a condemned criminal awaiting a terrible sentence to that of an heir awaiting a fabulous inheritance.
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
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
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
If I were the devil I should broadcast doubts about the truths and relevance and good sense and straightforwardness of the Bible ... At all costs I should want to keep them from using their minds in a disciplined way to get the measure of its message.
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
Thank you, Mr.Lewis, for being you. I wouldn't have missed you for the world.
J. I. Packer
God's love is an exercise of his goodness toward sinners who merit only condemnation.
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
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
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
The gospel tells that our Judge has become our Savior.
J. I. Packer
Certainly true worship invigorates, but to plan invigoration is not necessarily to order worship.
J. I. Packer
What makes life worthwhile is having a big enough objective, something which catches our imagination and lays hold of our allegiance, and this the Christian has in a way that no other person has. For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?
J. I. Packer
There are two sorts of sick consciences, those that are not aware enough of sin and those that are not aware enough of pardon.
J. I. Packer
Many humanists in the West are stirred by a sense of outrage at what professed Christians, past and present, have done and this makes them see their humanism as a kind of crusade, with the killing of Christianity as its prime goal.
J. I. Packer
Our are speculations are not the measure of our God.
J. I. Packer
The peace of God is first and foremost peace with God.
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.
