If our principal treasure be as we profess, in things spiritual and heavenly, and woe unto us if it be not so! on them will our affections, and consequently our desires and thoughts, be principally fixed.
John Owen
Image
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
Image
Christ so loves his people that he sings with joy over them.
John Owen
Image
Christ greatly delights in his people and they greatly delight in him
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
If the Word does not dwell with power in us, it will not pass with power from us.
John Owen
Image
Let not that man think he makes any progress in holiness who walks not over the bellies of his lusts. He who doth not kill sin in this way takes no steps toward his journey's end.
John Owen
Image
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
Image
The love of God is like himself – equal, constant, not capable of augmentation or diminution our love is like ourselves – unequal, increasing, waning, growing, declining. His, like the sun, always the same in its light, though a cloud may sometimes interpose ours, as the moon, has its enlargements and straightenings.

Image
Satan's greatest success is in making people think they have plenty of time before they die to consider their eternal welfare.
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
He that is more frequent in his pulpit to his people than he is in his closet for his people, is but a sorry watchman.
John Owen
Image
Selfishness is the making a man's self his own centre, the beginning and end of all he doeth.
John Owen
Image
To some men it is hard seeing a call of God through difficulties when if it would but clothe itself with a few carnal advantages, how apparent it is to them! They can see it through a little cranny.
John Owen
Image
Not to be daily mortifying sin, is to sin against the goodness, kindness, wisdom, grace, and love of God, who hath furnished us with a principle of doing it.
John Owen
Image
Nothing shall be lost that is done for God or in obedience to Him.
John Owen
Image
Faith, if it be a living faith, will be a working faith.
John Owen
Image
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
Image
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
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.
