More quotes by 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
Temptation gains power by persistent solicitations that beget thoughts that make evil less serious
John Owen
Before the work of grace the heart is ‘stony.’ It can do no more than a stone can do to please God.
John Owen
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
When sin lets us alone we may let sin alone but as sin is never less quiet than when it seems to be most quiet, and its waters are for the most part deep when they are still, so ought our contrivances against it to be vigorous at all times and in all conditions, even where there is least suspicion.
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
Indwelling sin always abides whilst we are in this world therefore it is always to be mortified.
John Owen
What do we want? What would we be at? What do our souls desire? Is it not that we might have a more full, clear, stable comprehension of the wisdom, love, grace, goodness, holiness, righteousness, and power of God, as declared and exalted in Christ unto our redemption and eternal salvation?
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
We ought as much to pray for a blessing upon our daily rod as upon our daily bread.
John Owen
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
Assurance encourateth us in our combat it delivers us not from it. We may have peace with God when we have done from the assaults of Satan.
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
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 house built on the sand may oftentimes be built higher, have more fair parapets and battlements, windows and ornaments, than that which is built upon the rock yet all gifts and privileges equal not one grace.
John Owen
Unless men see a beauty and delight in the worship of God, they will not do it willingly.
John Owen
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
The root of an unmortified course is the digestion of sin without bitterness in the heart.
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
No heart can conceive that treasury of mercies which lies in this one privilege, in having liberty and ability to approach unto God at all times, according to his mind and will.
