There is a state of perfect peace with God to be attained under imperfect obedience.
John Owen

If the Word does not dwell with power in us, it will not pass with power from us.
John Owen
Image
To say that we are able by our own efforts to think good thoughts or give God spiritual obedience before we are spiritually regenerate is to overthrow the gospel and the faith of the universal church in all ages.
John Owen
Image
Christ greatly delights in his people and they greatly delight in him
John Owen
Image
When sin lets us alone we may let sin alone.
John Owen
Image
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

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
All that may be known of God for our salvation, especially his wisdom, love, goodness, grace and mercy on which the life of our souls depends, are represented to us in all their splendour in and through Christ. No wonder then that Christ is glorious in the eyes of believers!
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
Pardon comes not to the soul alone or rather, Christ comes not to the soul with pardon only! It is that which He opens the door and enters by, but He comes with a Spirit of life and power.
John Owen
Image
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
Image
Labour to grow better under all your afflictions, lest your afflictions grow worse, lest God mingle them with more darkness, bitterness and terror.
John Owen
Image
See in the meantime that your faith brings forth obedience, and God in due time will cause it to bring forth peace.
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
If we believe not with faith divine and supernatural, we believe not at all.
John Owen
Image
It is truth alone that capacitates any soul to glorify God.
John Owen
Image
By faith ponder on this, that though thou art no way able in or by thyself to get the conquest over thy distemper, though thou art even weary of contending, and art utterly ready to faint, yet that there is enough in Jesus Christ to yield thee relief.
John Owen
Image
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
Image
To those to whom Christ is the hope of future glory, he is also the life of present grace.
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.
