Image
Indwelling sin always abides whilst we are in this world therefore it is always to be mortified.
John Owen
Image
It is truth alone that capacitates any soul to glorify God.
John Owen
Image
It must be observed, that the best of men, the most holy and spiritually minded, may have, nay, ought to have, their thoughts of spiritual things excited, multiplied, and confirmed, by the preaching of the word.
John Owen
Image
The most tremendous judgment of God in this world is the hardening of the hearts of men.
John Owen
Image
The love of God is like himself – equal, constant, not capable of augmentation or diminution our love is like ourselves – unequal, increasing, waning, growing, declining. His, like the sun, always the same in its light, though a cloud may sometimes interpose ours, as the moon, has its enlargements and straightenings.
John Owen
Image
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
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
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
There is no broader way to apostasy than to reject God's sovereignty in all things concerning the revelation of himself and our obedience.
John Owen
Image
There is no true gospel fruit without faith and repentance.
John Owen
Image
That wisdom which cannot teach me that God is love, shall ever pass for folly.
John Owen
Image
Sin is never less quiet than when it seems to be most quiet.
John Owen
Image
the whole Pelagian poison of free-will ... a clear exaltation of the old idol free-will into the throne of God ... That the decaying estate of Christianity have invented.
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
Without absolutes revealed from without by God Himself, we are left rudderless in a sea of conflicting ideas about manners, justice and right and wrong, issuing from a multitude of self-opinionated thinkers.
John Owen
Image
The greatest sorrow and burden you can lay on the Father, the greatest unkindness you can do to him is not to believe that he loves you.
John Owen
Image
The least grace is a better security for heaven than the greatest gifts or privileges whatsoever.
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
Temptation gains power where we see it prevail in others we know and we express neither shock or hatred of them and their ways nor pity and prayer for their deliverance.
