More quotes by John Owen

Image
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
Image
A man may easier see without eyes, speak without a tongue, than truly mortify one sin without the Spirit.
John Owen
Image
There is a state of perfect peace with God to be attained under imperfect obedience.
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
If Scripture has more than one meaning, it has no meaning at all.
John Owen
Image
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
Image
There is no true gospel fruit without faith and repentance.
John Owen
Image
As a tender and loving friend is grieved at the unkindness of his friend... so is it with this tender and loving Spirit, who hath chosen our hearts for a habitation to dwell in.
John Owen
Image
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
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
I wish thy lot, now bad, still worse, my friend, for when at worst, they say, things always mend.
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
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
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
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 are taught in an especial manner to pray that God would give his Holy Spirit unto us, that through his aid and assistance we may live unto God in that holy obedience which he requires at our hands.
John Owen
Image
Now nothing can prevent this but mortification that withers the root and strikes at the head of sin every hour, so that whatever it aims at it is crossed in.
John Owen
Image
To kill sin is the work of living men where men are dead (as all unbelievers, the best of them, are dead), sin is alive, and will live.
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
It is one thing to fear God as threatening, with a holy reverence, and another to be afraid of the evil threatened.
