John Owen
There is no death of sin without the death of Christ.
John Owen
What then is holiness? Holiness is nothing but the implanting, writing and living out of the gospel in our souls (Eph 4:24).

John Owen
Assurance encourateth us in our combat it delivers us not from it. We may have peace with God when we have done from the assaults of Satan.
John Owen
Christ is the meat, the bread, the food of our souls. Nothing is in him of a higher spiritual nourishment than his love, which we should always desire.
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
The vigour, and power, and comfort of our spiritual life depends on the mortification of the deeds of the flesh.
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
We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love.
John Owen
The root of an unmortified course is the digestion of sin without bitterness in the heart.
John Owen
