Mortification
More quotes by 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 mortification of indwelling sin remaining in our mortal bodies, that it may not have life and power to bring forth the works or deeds of the flesh is the constant duty of believers.
John Owen
It is the Spirit alone that can mortify sin he is promised to do it, and all other means without him are empty and vain. How shall he, then, mortify sin that has not the Spirit? A man may easier see without eyes, speak without a tongue, than truly mortify one sin without the Spirit.
John Owen
There is no broader way to apostasy than to reject God's sovereignty in all things concerning the revelation of himself and our obedience.
John Owen
The root of an unmortified course is the digestion of sin without bitterness in the heart.
John Owen
If we believe not with faith divine and supernatural, we believe not at all.
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
When sin lets us alone we may let sin alone but as sin is never less quiet than when it seems to be most quiet, and its waters are for the most part deep when they are still, so ought our contrivances against it to be vigorous at all times and in all conditions, even where there is least suspicion.
John Owen
Temptation gains power by persistent solicitations that beget thoughts that make evil less serious
John Owen
It is evident that you contend against sin merely because of how it troubles you.
John Owen
Leanness of body and soul may go together.
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
It being our duty to mortify... we must be at work. He that is appointed to kill an enemy, if he leave striking before the other ceases living, does but half his work.
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
When sin lets us alone we may let sin alone.
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
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 house built on the sand may oftentimes be built higher, have more fair parapets and battlements, windows and ornaments, than that which is built upon the rock yet all gifts and privileges equal not one grace.
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
If the Word does not dwell with power in us, it will not pass with power from us.
John Owen
