More quotes by John Owen
It is often those who are despised and trampled on that bear up the weight of a whole nation.
John Owen
Herein would I live herein would I die hereon would I dwell in my thoughts and affections to the withering and consumption of all the painted beauties of this world, unto the crucifying all things here below, until they become unto me a dead and deformed thing, no way meet for affectionate embraces.
John Owen
God never intended for us to be left to pray on our own. God never changes His purpose, but He often does purpose a change.
John Owen
Christ so loves his people that he sings with joy over them.
John Owen
Christ greatly delights in his people and they greatly delight in him
John Owen
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
When someone sets his affections upon the cross and the love of Christ, he crucifies the world as a dead and undesirable thing. The baits of sin lose their attraction and disappear. Fill your affections with the cross of Christ and you will find no room for sin.
John Owen
The least grace is a better security for heaven than the greatest gifts or privileges whatsoever.
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
...but let it suffice us to know that it became God, who is the supreme Ruler, Governor and Judge of all that sin should be punished with death in the sinner or his surety and therefore if God would bring many sons to glory, the Captain of their salvation must undergo sufferings and death, to make satisfaction for them.
John Owen
Unless we are thoroughly convinced that without Christ we are under the eternal curse of God, as the worst of His enemies, we shall never flee to Him for refuge.
John Owen
There wanted not some beams of light to guide men in the exercise of their Stocastick faculty.
John Owen
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
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
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
It is evident that you contend against sin merely because of how it troubles you.
John Owen
It is not the glorious battlements, the painted windows, the crouching gargoyles that support a building, but the stones that lie unseen in or upon the earth. It is often those who are despised and trampled on that bear up the weight of a whole nation.
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
In or towards whomsoever the Holy Spirit puts forth His power, or acts his grace for their regeneration, he removes all obstacles, overcomes all oppositions, and infallibly produces the intended effect.
John Owen
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.
John Owen
