More quotes by John Owen
We ought as much to pray for a blessing upon our daily rod as upon our daily bread.
John Owen
It is truth alone that capacitates any soul to glorify God.
John Owen
Men think all things would be very glorious if they might be done according to their mind. Perhaps, indeed, they would-but with their glory, not the glory of God.
John Owen
Faith, if it be a living faith, will be a working faith.
John Owen
To those to whom Christ is the hope of future glory, he is also the life of present grace.
John Owen
There is not a day but sin foils or is foiled, prevails or is prevailed on and it will be so whilst we live in this world.
John Owen
All that may be known of God for our salvation, especially his wisdom, love, goodness, grace and mercy on which the life of our souls depends, are represented to us in all their splendour in and through Christ. No wonder then that Christ is glorious in the eyes of believers!
John Owen
Christ is the meat, the bread, the food of our souls. Nothing is in him of a higher spiritual nourishment than his love, which we should always desire.
John Owen
We are taught in an especial manner to pray that God would give his Holy Spirit unto us, that through his aid and assistance we may live unto God in that holy obedience which he requires at our hands.
John Owen
Labour to grow better under all your afflictions, lest your afflictions grow worse, lest God mingle them with more darkness, bitterness and terror.
John Owen
Selfishness is the making a man's self his own centre, the beginning and end of all he doeth.
John Owen
Assurance encourateth us in our combat it delivers us not from it. We may have peace with God when we have done from the assaults of Satan.
John Owen
No man shall ever behold the glory of Christ by sight hereafter who does not in some measure behold it here by faith.
John Owen
When sin lets us alone we may let sin alone.
John Owen
There wanted not some beams of light to guide men in the exercise of their Stocastick faculty.
John Owen
This day was yesterday to-morrow nam'd: To-morrow shall be yesterday proclaimed: To-morrow not yet come, not far away, What shall to-morrow then be call'd? To-day.
John Owen
There neither is, nor ever was, in the world, nor ever shall be, the least dram of holiness, but what, flowing from Jesus Christ, is communicated by the Spirit, according to the truth and promise of the gospel.
John Owen
Fill your affections with the cross of Christ that there may be no room for sin.
John Owen
Would a soul continually eye His everlasting tenderness and compassion...[then] it could not bear an hour's absence from Him whereas now, perhaps, it cannot watch with him one hour.
John Owen
If Scripture has more than one meaning, it has no meaning at all.
John Owen
