More quotes by John Owen
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
The gospel shall be victorious. This is the third thing that greatly comforts and refreshes me, — that if God should give me the honour, the strength, and grace to die in this cause, my cause shall be victorious, as sure as if I had the crown in my hand.
John Owen
The root of an unmortified course is the digestion of sin without bitterness in the heart.
John Owen
Let no man think to kill sin with few, easy, or gentle strokes. He who hath once smitten a serpent, if he follow not on his blow until it be slain, may repent that ever he began the quarrel. And so he who undertakes to deal with sin, and pursues it not constantly to the death.
John Owen
It is truth alone that capacitates any soul to glorify God.
John Owen
The most tremendous judgment of God in this world is the hardening of the hearts of men.
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
It is one thing to fear God as threatening, with a holy reverence, and another to be afraid of the evil threatened.
John Owen
The purpose of our holy and righteous God was to save his church, but their sin could not go unpunished. It was, therefore, necessary that the punishment for that sin be transferred from those who deserved it but could not bear it, to one who did not deserve it but was able to bear it.
John Owen
In or towards whomsoever the Holy Spirit puts forth His power, or acts his grace for their regeneration, he removes all obstacles, overcomes all oppositions, and infallibly produces the intended effect.
John Owen
Before the work of grace the heart is ‘stony.’ It can do no more than a stone can do to please God.
John Owen
Without absolutes revealed from without by God Himself, we are left rudderless in a sea of conflicting ideas about manners, justice and right and wrong, issuing from a multitude of self-opinionated thinkers.
John Owen
There is a state of perfect peace with God to be attained under imperfect obedience.
John Owen
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
Christ so loves his people that he sings with joy over them.
John Owen
The indulgence of one sin opens the door to further sins. The indulgence of one sin diverts the soul from the use of those means by which all other sins should be resisted.
John Owen
There is no death of sin without the death of Christ.
John Owen
Christ greatly delights in his people and they greatly delight in him
John Owen
We shall not benefit from reading the Old Testament unless we look for and meditate on the glory of Christ in its pages.
John Owen
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.
