More quotes by John Owen
There is a state of perfect peace with God to be attained under imperfect obedience.
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 we believe not with faith divine and supernatural, we believe not at all.
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
God never intended for us to be left to pray on our own. God never changes His purpose, but He often does purpose a change.
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
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
That wisdom which cannot teach me that God is love, shall ever pass for folly.
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
I wish thy lot, now bad, still worse, my friend, for when at worst, they say, things always mend.
John Owen
Fill your affections with the cross of Christ that there may be no room for sin.
John Owen
There is no true gospel fruit without faith and repentance.
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
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
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
Every time we say we believe in the Holy Spirit, we mean we believe that there is a living God able and willing to enter human personality and change it.
John Owen
See in the meantime that your faith brings forth obedience, and God in due time will cause it to bring forth peace.
John Owen
The purpose of our holy and righteous God was to save his church, but their sin could not go unpunished. It was, therefore, necessary that the punishment for that sin be transferred from those who deserved it but could not bear it, to one who did not deserve it but was able to bear it.
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
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.
