Indwelling sin always abides whilst we are in this world therefore it is always to be mortified.
John Owen
Image
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
Image
We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love.
John Owen
Image
It is evident that you contend against sin merely because of how it troubles you.
John Owen
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
Unless men see a beauty and delight in the worship of God, they will not do it willingly.
John Owen
Image
He that loves works out good to those that he loves, as he is able. God's power and will are equal what He wills He works.
John Owen
Image
We shall not benefit from reading the Old Testament unless we look for and meditate on the glory of Christ in its pages.
John Owen
Image
For to pretend that men may live habitually sinful lives without any attempt by the Spirit to mortify sin in them, nor with any desire for repentance, is to deny the Christian religion.
John Owen
Image
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
Image
Faith, if it be a living faith, will be a working faith.
John Owen
Image
The most tremendous judgment of God in this world is the hardening of the hearts of men.
John Owen
Image
Before the work of grace the heart is ‘stony.’ It can do no more than a stone can do to please God.
John Owen
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I wish thy lot, now bad, still worse, my friend, for when at worst, they say, things always mend.
John Owen
Image
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
Image
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.
