There is no true gospel fruit without faith and repentance.
John Owen
Image
No heart can conceive that treasury of mercies which lies in this one privilege, in having liberty and ability to approach unto God at all times, according to his mind and will.
John Owen
Image
If a man teach uprightly and walk crookedly, more will fall down in the night of his life than he built in the day of his doctrine.
John Owen
Image
And as men diversions increase from the world, so do their entanglements from Satan. When they have more to do in the world than they can well manage, they shall have more to do from Satan than they can withstand.
John Owen
Image
It is one thing to fear God as threatening, with a holy reverence, and another to be afraid of the evil threatened.
John Owen
Image
He that is more frequent in his pulpit to his people than he is in his closet for his people, is but a sorry watchman.
John Owen
Image
The love of God is like himself – equal, constant, not capable of augmentation or diminution our love is like ourselves – unequal, increasing, waning, growing, declining. His, like the sun, always the same in its light, though a cloud may sometimes interpose ours, as the moon, has its enlargements and straightenings.
John Owen
Image
For to pretend that men may live habitually sinful lives without any attempt by the Spirit to mortify sin in them, nor with any desire for repentance, is to deny the Christian religion.
John Owen
Image
When we have communion with God in the doctrine we contend for-then shall we be garrisoned by the grace of God against all the assaults of men.
John Owen
Image
Temptation gains power where we see it prevail in others we know and we express neither shock or hatred of them and their ways nor pity and prayer for their deliverance.
John Owen
Image
He that loves works out good to those that he loves, as he is able. God's power and will are equal what He wills He works.
John Owen
Image
There are two things that are suited to humble the souls of men, and they are, first, a due consideration of God, and then of themselves - of God, in His greatness, glory, holiness, power, majesty, and authority of ourselves, in our mean, abject, and sinful condition.
John Owen
Image
What then is holiness? Holiness is nothing but the implanting, writing and living out of the gospel in our souls (Eph 4:24).
John Owen
Image
Longing, breathing, and panting after deliverance is a grace in itself, that has a mighty power to conform the soul into the likeness of the thing longed after...unless you long for deliverance you shall not have it.
John Owen
Image
Not to be daily mortifying sin, is to sin against the goodness, kindness, wisdom, grace, and love of God, who hath furnished us with a principle of doing it.
John Owen
Image
The pretended desires of many to behold the glory of Christ in heaven, who have no view of it by faith while they are here in this world, are nothing but self-deceiving imaginations.
John Owen
Image
Faith, if it be a living faith, will be a working faith.
John Owen
Image
He that stands still and suffers his enemies to double blows upon him without resistance, will undoubtedly be conquered in the issue.
John Owen
Image
We admit no faith to be justifying, which is not itself and in its own nature a spiritually vital principle of obedience and good works.
John Owen
Image
The most tremendous judgment of God in this world is the hardening of the hearts of men.
