More quotes by John Owen
Herein would I live herein would I die hereon would I dwell in my thoughts and affections to the withering and consumption of all the painted beauties of this world, unto the crucifying all things here below, until they become unto me a dead and deformed thing, no way meet for affectionate embraces.
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
There is not a day but sin foils or is foiled, prevails or is prevailed on and it will be so whilst we live in this world.
John Owen
That wisdom which cannot teach me that God is love, shall ever pass for folly.
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
On Christ’s glory I would fix all my thoughts and desires, and the more I see of the glory of Christ, the more the painted beauties of this world will wither in my eyes and I will be more and more crucified to this world. It will become to me like something dead and putrid, impossible for me to enjoy.
John Owen
If Scripture has more than one meaning, it has no meaning at all.
John Owen
The least grace is a better security for heaven than the greatest gifts or privileges whatsoever.
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
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
Unless men see a beauty and delight in the worship of God, they will not do it willingly.
John Owen
It is not the glorious battlements, the painted windows, the crouching gargoyles that support a building, but the stones that lie unseen in or upon the earth. It is often those who are despised and trampled on that bear up the weight of a whole nation.
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
Faith, if it be a living faith, will be a working faith.
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
The most tremendous judgment of God in this world is the hardening of the hearts of men.
John Owen
The house built on the sand may oftentimes be built higher, have more fair parapets and battlements, windows and ornaments, than that which is built upon the rock yet all gifts and privileges equal not one grace.
John Owen
Christ by his death destroying the works of the devil, procuring the Spirit for us, hath so killed sin, as to its reign in believers, that it shall not obtain its end and dominion.
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
Fill your affections with the cross of Christ that there may be no room for sin.
John Owen
