More quotes by J. I. Packer
Evangelizing includes the endeavor to elicit a response to the truth taught.
J. I. Packer
The gospel does in truth proclaim the redemption of reason. Obscurantism is always evil, and wilful error is always sin., All truth is God's truth facts, as such, are sacred, and nothing is more un-Christian than to run away from them.
J. I. Packer
The meaning of He will give us all things can be put thus: one day we will see that nothing - literally nothing - which could have increased our eternal happiness has been denied us, and that nothing - literally nothing - that could have reduced that happiness has been left with us.
J. I. Packer
The character of God is today, and always will be, exactly what it was in Bible times.
J. I. Packer
The unceasing activity of the Creator whereby, in overflowing bounty and goodwill, He upholds His creatures in ordered existence, guides and governs all events, circumstances, and free acts of angels and men, and directs everything to its appointed goal, for His own glory.
J. I. Packer
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
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
The stars may fall, but God's promises will stand and be fulfilled.
J. I. Packer
If one preaches the Bible biblically, one cannot help preaching the gospel all the time.
J. I. Packer
God the Father is the giver of Holy Scripture God the Son is the theme of Holy Scripture and God the Spirit is the author, authenticator, and interpreter of Holy Scripture.
J. I. Packer
[N]obody can produce new evidence of your depravity that will make God change his mind. For God justified you with (so to speak) his eyes open. He knew the worst about you at the time when he accepted you for Jesus' sake and the verdict which he passed then was, and is, final.
J. I. Packer
Repentance, as we know, is basically not moaning and remorse, but turning and change.
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
The peace of God is first and foremost peace with God.
J. I. Packer
The simple statement, 'God is for us', is in truth one of the richest and weightiest utterances that the Bible contains.
J. I. Packer
The gospel tells that our Judge has become our Savior.
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
God made us thinking beings, and he guides our minds as we think things out in his presence.
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
Our best works are shot through with sin and contain something for which we need to be forgiven.
J. I. Packer
