More quotes by John Owen
There is no death of sin without the death of Christ.
John Owen
We cannot enjoy peace in this world unless we are ready to yield to the will of God in respect of death. Our times are in His hand, at His sovereign disposal. We must accept that as best.
John Owen
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
If Scripture has more than one meaning, it has no meaning at all.
John Owen
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
It is one thing to fear God as threatening, with a holy reverence, and another to be afraid of the evil threatened.
John Owen
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
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
See in the meantime that your faith brings forth obedience, and God in due time will cause it to bring forth peace.
John Owen
The root of an unmortified course is the digestion of sin without bitterness in the heart.
John Owen
Temptation is like a knife, that may either cut the meat or the throat of a man it may be his food or his poison, his exercise or his destruction
John Owen
I wish thy lot, now bad, still worse, my friend, for when at worst, they say, things always mend.
John Owen
The seed of every sin is in every heart.
John Owen
The growth of trees and plants takes place so slowly that it is not easily seen. Daily we notice little change. But, in course of time, we see that a great change has taken place. So it is with grace. Sanctification is a progressive, lifelong work (Prov 4:18). It is an amazing work of God's grace and it is a work to be prayed for (Rom 8:27).
John Owen
He that is more frequent in his pulpit to his people than he is in his closet for his people, is but a sorry watchman.
John Owen
The least grace is a better security for heaven than the greatest gifts or privileges whatsoever.
John Owen
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
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
If the Word does not dwell with power in us, it will not pass with power from us.
John Owen
There are two things that are suited to humble the souls of men, and they are, first, a due consideration of God, and then of themselves - of God, in His greatness, glory, holiness, power, majesty, and authority of ourselves, in our mean, abject, and sinful condition.
John Owen
