More quotes by 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
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
Temptation gains power by persistent solicitations that beget thoughts that make evil less serious
John Owen
Temptation gains power where we see it prevail in others we know and we express neither shock or hatred of them and their ways nor pity and prayer for their deliverance.
John Owen
Unless men see a beauty and delight in the worship of God, they will not do it willingly.
John Owen
No man shall ever behold the glory of Christ by sight hereafter who does not in some measure behold it here by faith.
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
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
the whole Pelagian poison of free-will ... a clear exaltation of the old idol free-will into the throne of God ... That the decaying estate of Christianity have invented.
John Owen
If we believe not with faith divine and supernatural, we believe not 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
The pretended desires of many to behold the glory of Christ in heaven, who have no view of it by faith while they are here in this world, are nothing but self-deceiving imaginations.
John Owen
If a man teach uprightly and walk crookedly, more will fall down in the night of his life than he built in the day of his doctrine.
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
We admit no faith to be justifying, which is not itself and in its own nature a spiritually vital principle of obedience and good works.
John Owen
It is often those who are despised and trampled on that bear up the weight of a whole nation.
John Owen
Nothing shall be lost that is done for God or in obedience to Him.
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
Sin is never less quiet than when it seems to be most quiet.
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.
