More quotes by John Owen
There is only one way to be revived and healed from our backslidings so that we may become fruitful even in old age. We must take a steady look at the glory of Christ in His special character, in His grace and work, as shown to us in the Scripture.
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
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
Leanness of body and soul may go together.
John Owen
To those to whom Christ is the hope of future glory, he is also the life of present grace.
John Owen
By faith ponder on this, that though thou art no way able in or by thyself to get the conquest over thy distemper, though thou art even weary of contending, and art utterly ready to faint, yet that there is enough in Jesus Christ to yield thee relief.
John Owen
If Scripture has more than one meaning, it has no meaning at all.
John Owen
We ought as much to pray for a blessing upon our daily rod as upon our daily bread.
John Owen
I did not hear what I should have listened to.
John Owen
Temptation is like a knife, that may either cut the meat or the throat of a man it may be his food or his poison, his exercise or his destruction
John Owen
I wish thy lot, now bad, still worse, my friend, for when at worst, they say, things always mend.
John Owen
the whole Pelagian poison of free-will ... a clear exaltation of the old idol free-will into the throne of God ... That the decaying estate of Christianity have invented.
John Owen
Christ so loves his people that he sings with joy over them.
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
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
Selfishness is the making a man's self his own centre, the beginning and end of all he doeth.
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
Now nothing can prevent this but mortification that withers the root and strikes at the head of sin every hour, so that whatever it aims at it is crossed in.
John Owen
It is truth alone that capacitates any soul to glorify God.
John Owen
It must be observed, that the best of men, the most holy and spiritually minded, may have, nay, ought to have, their thoughts of spiritual things excited, multiplied, and confirmed, by the preaching of the word.
