More quotes by John Owen
Christ greatly delights in his people and they greatly delight in him
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
Unless men see a beauty and delight in the worship of God, they will not do it willingly.
John Owen
Let, then, the word be preached, and the sins of men will be rebuked, lust will be restrained, and some oppositions will be made against sin, though that be not the effect aimed at.
John Owen
It is evident that you contend against sin merely because of how it troubles you.
John Owen
To those to whom Christ is the hope of future glory, he is also the life of present grace.
John Owen
The greatest sorrow and burden you can lay on the Father, the greatest unkindness you can do to him is not to believe that he loves you.
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.
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.
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
The least grace is a better security for heaven than the greatest gifts or privileges whatsoever.
John Owen
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
If we do not abide in prayer, we will abide in temptation. Let this be one aspect of our daily intercession: God, preserve my soul, and keep my heart and all its ways so that I will not be entangled. When this is true in our lives, a passing temptation will not overcome us. We will remain free while others lie in bondage.
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 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
We ought as much to pray for a blessing upon our daily rod as upon our daily bread.
John Owen
The stronghold of the contemplation of Christ's glory affords the soul rest, for it will be made evident that our troubles grow on the root of an over-valuation of temporal things. The mind is its own greatest troubler.
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
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
What do we want? What would we be at? What do our souls desire? Is it not that we might have a more full, clear, stable comprehension of the wisdom, love, grace, goodness, holiness, righteousness, and power of God, as declared and exalted in Christ unto our redemption and eternal salvation?
John Owen
