Image
Sin is never less quiet than when it seems to be most quiet.
John Owen
Image
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
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
He that stands still and suffers his enemies to double blows upon him without resistance, will undoubtedly be conquered in the issue.
John Owen
Image
The root of an unmortified course is the digestion of sin without bitterness in the heart.
John Owen
Image
This day was yesterday to-morrow nam'd: To-morrow shall be yesterday proclaimed: To-morrow not yet come, not far away, What shall to-morrow then be call'd? To-day.
John Owen
Image
Assurance encourateth us in our combat it delivers us not from it. We may have peace with God when we have done from the assaults of Satan.
John Owen
Image
It being our duty to mortify... we must be at work. He that is appointed to kill an enemy, if he leave striking before the other ceases living, does but half his work.
John Owen
Image
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
I wish thy lot, now bad, still worse, my friend, for when at worst, they say, things always mend.
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
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
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
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
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
Temptation is like a knife, that may either cut the meat or the throat of a man it may be his food or his poison, his exercise or his destruction
John Owen
Image
Let no man think to kill sin with few, easy, or gentle strokes. He who hath once smitten a serpent, if he follow not on his blow until it be slain, may repent that ever he began the quarrel. And so he who undertakes to deal with sin, and pursues it not constantly to the death.
John Owen
Image
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
Image
Christ greatly delights in his people and they greatly delight in him
John Owen
Image
A river continually fed by a living fountain may as soon end its streams before it come to the ocean, as a stop be put to the course and progress of grace before it issue in glory.
