More quotes by John Owen
Pardon comes not to the soul alone or rather, Christ comes not to the soul with pardon only! It is that which He opens the door and enters by, but He comes with a Spirit of life and power.
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 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
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
If we believe not with faith divine and supernatural, we believe not at all.
John Owen
The least grace is a better security for heaven than the greatest gifts or privileges whatsoever.
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
This day was yesterday to-morrow nam'd: To-morrow shall be yesterday proclaimed: To-morrow not yet come, not far away, What shall to-morrow then be call'd? To-day.
John Owen
If Scripture has more than one meaning, it has no meaning at all.
John Owen
In or towards whomsoever the Holy Spirit puts forth His power, or acts his grace for their regeneration, he removes all obstacles, overcomes all oppositions, and infallibly produces the intended effect.
John Owen
When sin lets us alone we may let sin alone.
John Owen
We cannot enjoy peace in this world unless we are ready to yield to the will of God in respect of death. Our times are in His hand, at His sovereign disposal. We must accept that as best.
John Owen
Satan's greatest success is in making people think they have plenty of time before they die to consider their eternal welfare.
John Owen
A river continually fed by a living fountain may as soon end its streams before it come to the ocean, as a stop be put to the course and progress of grace before it issue in glory.
John Owen
He that stands still and suffers his enemies to double blows upon him without resistance, will undoubtedly be conquered in the issue.
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
I wish thy lot, now bad, still worse, my friend, for when at worst, they say, things always mend.
John Owen
Herein would I live herein would I die hereon would I dwell in my thoughts and affections to the withering and consumption of all the painted beauties of this world, unto the crucifying all things here below, until they become unto me a dead and deformed thing, no way meet for affectionate embraces.
John Owen
I did not hear what I should have listened to.
John Owen
As a tender and loving friend is grieved at the unkindness of his friend... so is it with this tender and loving Spirit, who hath chosen our hearts for a habitation to dwell in.
John Owen
