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
Satan's greatest success is in making people think they have plenty of time before they die to consider their eternal welfare.
John Owen
Christ did not die for any upon condition, if they do believe but He died for all God's elect, that they should believe.
John Owen
Longing, breathing, and panting after deliverance is a grace in itself, that has a mighty power to conform the soul into the likeness of the thing longed after...unless you long for deliverance you shall not have it.
John Owen
That wisdom which cannot teach me that God is love, shall ever pass for folly.
John Owen
The foundation of true holiness and true Christian worship is the doctrine of the gospel, what we are to believe. So when Christian doctrine is neglected, forsaken, or corrupted, true holiness and worship will also be neglected, forsaken, and corrupted.
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
Sin is never less quiet than when it seems to be most quiet.
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
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
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
Men think all things would be very glorious if they might be done according to their mind. Perhaps, indeed, they would-but with their glory, not the glory of God.
John Owen
There is a state of perfect peace with God to be attained under imperfect obedience.
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
Without absolutes revealed from without by God Himself, we are left rudderless in a sea of conflicting ideas about manners, justice and right and wrong, issuing from a multitude of self-opinionated thinkers.
John Owen
Unless men see a beauty and delight in the worship of God, they will not do it willingly.
John Owen
Never was sin seen to be more abominably sinful and full of provocation than when the burden of it was upon the shoulders of the Son of God...Would you, then, see the true demerit of sin?-take the measure of it from the mediation of Christ, especially his cross.
John Owen
The seed of every sin is in every heart.
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.
