More quotes by John Owen

Image
Before the work of grace the heart is ‘stony.’ It can do no more than a stone can do to please God.
John Owen
Image
As a tender and loving friend is grieved at the unkindness of his friend... so is it with this tender and loving Spirit, who hath chosen our hearts for a habitation to dwell in.
John Owen
Image
I did not hear what I should have listened to.
John Owen
Image
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.
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
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
We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love.
John Owen
Image
There wanted not some beams of light to guide men in the exercise of their Stocastick faculty.
John Owen
Image
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
Image
It is truth alone that capacitates any soul to glorify God.
John Owen
Image
If we do not abide in prayer, we will abide in temptation. Let this be one aspect of our daily intercession: God, preserve my soul, and keep my heart and all its ways so that I will not be entangled. When this is true in our lives, a passing temptation will not overcome us. We will remain free while others lie in bondage.
John Owen
Image
We are taught in an especial manner to pray that God would give his Holy Spirit unto us, that through his aid and assistance we may live unto God in that holy obedience which he requires at our hands.
John Owen
Image
The foundation of true holiness and true Christian worship is the doctrine of the gospel, what we are to believe. So when Christian doctrine is neglected, forsaken, or corrupted, true holiness and worship will also be neglected, forsaken, and corrupted.
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
Christ greatly delights in his people and they greatly delight in him
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
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
Image
Do you mortify do you make it your daily work be always at it whilst you live cease not a day from this work be killing sin or it will be killing you.
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
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.
