More quotes by John Owen

Image
The most tremendous judgment of God in this world is the hardening of the hearts of men.
John Owen
Image
No man shall ever behold the glory of Christ by sight hereafter who does not in some measure behold it here by faith.
John Owen
Image
Indwelling sin always abides whilst we are in this world therefore it is always to be mortified.
John Owen
Image
The root of an unmortified course is the digestion of sin without bitterness in the heart.
John Owen
Image
When we have communion with God in the doctrine we contend for-then shall we be garrisoned by the grace of God against all the assaults of men.
John Owen
Image
...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
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
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.
John Owen
Image
If our principal treasure be as we profess, in things spiritual and heavenly, and woe unto us if it be not so! on them will our affections, and consequently our desires and thoughts, be principally fixed.
John Owen
Image
Let, then, the word be preached, and the sins of men will be rebuked, lust will be restrained, and some oppositions will be made against sin, though that be not the effect aimed at.
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
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
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
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
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
Free will is corrupted nature's deformed darling, the Pallas or beloved self-conception of darkened minds
John Owen
Image
Christ so loves his people that he sings with joy over them.
