More quotes by John Owen
A natural man hath no such thing as free-will at all, if you take it for a power of doing that which is good and well-pleasing unto God in things spiritual.
John Owen
Set faith at work on Christ for the killing of thy sin. His blood is the great sovereign remedy for sin-sick souls. Live in this, and thou wilt die a conqueror yea, thou wilt, through the good providence of God, live to see thy lust dead at thy feet.
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
...but let it suffice us to know that it became God, who is the supreme Ruler, Governor and Judge of all that sin should be punished with death in the sinner or his surety and therefore if God would bring many sons to glory, the Captain of their salvation must undergo sufferings and death, to make satisfaction for them.
John Owen
Christ greatly delights in his people and they greatly delight in him
John Owen
Let not that man think he makes any progress in holiness who walks not over the bellies of his lusts. He who doth not kill sin in this way takes no steps toward his journey's end.
John Owen
When someone sets his affections upon the cross and the love of Christ, he crucifies the world as a dead and undesirable thing. The baits of sin lose their attraction and disappear. Fill your affections with the cross of Christ and you will find no room for sin.
John Owen
Christ so loves his people that he sings with joy over them.
John Owen
Christ did not die for any upon condition, if they do believe but He died for all God's elect, that they should believe.
John Owen
Every time we say we believe in the Holy Spirit, we mean we believe that there is a living God able and willing to enter human personality and change it.
John Owen
Free will is corrupted nature's deformed darling, the Pallas or beloved self-conception of darkened minds
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
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
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
Before the work of grace the heart is ‘stony.’ It can do no more than a stone can do to please God.
John Owen
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
The most tremendous judgment of God in this world is the hardening of the hearts of men.
John Owen
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
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
