More quotes by John Owen
The vigour, and power, and comfort of our spiritual life depends on the mortification of the deeds of the flesh.
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
Nothing shall be lost that is done for God or in obedience to Him.
John Owen
To those to whom Christ is the hope of future glory, he is also the life of present grace.
John Owen
A man may easier see without eyes, speak without a tongue, than truly mortify one sin without the Spirit.
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
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
There is no broader way to apostasy than to reject God's sovereignty in all things concerning the revelation of himself and our obedience.
John Owen
The mortification of indwelling sin remaining in our mortal bodies, that it may not have life and power to bring forth the works or deeds of the flesh is the constant duty of believers.
John Owen
Temptation gains power by persistent solicitations that beget thoughts that make evil less serious
John Owen
Hatred of sin as sin, not only as galling or disquieting, a sense of the love of Christ in the cross, lie at the bottom of all true spiritual mortification.
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
We ought as much to pray for a blessing upon our daily rod as upon our daily bread.
John Owen
Sin is never less quiet than when it seems to be most quiet.
John Owen
Indwelling sin always abides whilst we are in this world therefore it is always to be mortified.
John Owen
Christ so loves his people that he sings with joy over them.
John Owen
When we have communion with God in the doctrine we contend for-then shall we be garrisoned by the grace of God against all the assaults of men.
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
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
Faith, if it be a living faith, will be a working faith.
John Owen
