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.

More quotes by J. I. Packer
Grace means God sending his only Son to the cross to descend into hell so that we guilty ones might be reconciled to God and received into heaven.
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
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
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
God is good to all in some ways and to some in all ways.
J. I. Packer
The Trinity is the basis of the gospel, and the gospel is a declaration of the Trinity in action.
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
One of the many divine qualities of the Bible is that it does not yield its secrets to the irreverent and the censorious.
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
The character of God is today, and always will be, exactly what it was in Bible times.
J. I. Packer
Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfolded.
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
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
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
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
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
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
For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?
J. I. Packer
Thank you, Mr.Lewis, for being you. I wouldn't have missed you for the world.
J. I. Packer
Evangelical churches are weaker than we realize because we dont teach the confessions and doctrine.
J. I. Packer
