John Owen
Image
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
Image
A man may easier see without eyes, speak without a tongue, than truly mortify one sin without the Spirit.

There is only one way to be revived and healed from our backslidings so that we may become fruitful even in old age. We must take a steady look at the glory of Christ in His special character, in His grace and work, as shown to us in the Scripture.
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
I did not hear what I should have listened to.
John Owen
Image
It is the Spirit alone that can mortify sin he is promised to do it, and all other means without him are empty and vain. How shall he, then, mortify sin that has not the Spirit? A man may easier see without eyes, speak without a tongue, than truly mortify one sin without the Spirit.
John Owen
Image
Free will is corrupted nature's deformed darling, the Pallas or beloved self-conception of darkened minds
John Owen
Image
Nothing shall be lost that is done for God or in obedience to Him.
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
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
Set faith at work on Christ for the killing of thy sin. His blood is the great sovereign remedy for sin-sick souls. Live in this, and thou wilt die a conqueror yea, thou wilt, through the good providence of God, live to see thy lust dead at thy feet.
John Owen
