More quotes by John Owen
I did not hear what I should have listened to.
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
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
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
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
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
There is no death of sin without the death of Christ.
John Owen
Selfishness is the making a man's self his own centre, the beginning and end of all he doeth.
John Owen
Unless we are thoroughly convinced that without Christ we are under the eternal curse of God, as the worst of His enemies, we shall never flee to Him for refuge.
John Owen
There wanted not some beams of light to guide men in the exercise of their Stocastick faculty.
John Owen
Set faith at work on Christ for the killing of thy sin. His blood is the great sovereign remedy for sin-sick souls. Live in this, and thou wilt die a conqueror yea, thou wilt, through the good providence of God, live to see thy lust dead at thy feet.
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
Mortification from a self-strength, carried on by ways of self-invention, unto the end of a self-righteousness, is the soul and substance of all false religion in the world.
John Owen
It is evident that you contend against sin merely because of how it troubles you.
John Owen
Would a soul continually eye His everlasting tenderness and compassion...[then] it could not bear an hour's absence from Him whereas now, perhaps, it cannot watch with him one hour.
John Owen
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
We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love.
John Owen
...but let it suffice us to know that it became God, who is the supreme Ruler, Governor and Judge of all that sin should be punished with death in the sinner or his surety and therefore if God would bring many sons to glory, the Captain of their salvation must undergo sufferings and death, to make satisfaction for them.
John Owen
Nothing shall be lost that is done for God or in obedience to Him.
John Owen
The greatest sorrow and burden you can lay on the Father, the greatest unkindness you can do to him is not to believe that he loves you.
John Owen
