John Owen
Image
The vigour, and power, and comfort of our spiritual life depends on the mortification of the deeds of the flesh.
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
There wanted not some beams of light to guide men in the exercise of their Stocastick faculty.
John Owen
Image
There is a state of perfect peace with God to be attained under imperfect obedience.

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

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
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
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
When someone sets his affections upon the cross and the love of Christ, he crucifies the world as a dead and undesirable thing. The baits of sin lose their attraction and disappear. Fill your affections with the cross of Christ and you will find no room for sin.
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
If the Word does not dwell with power in us, it will not pass with power from us.
John Owen
Image
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
Image
It is evident that you contend against sin merely because of how it troubles you.
John Owen
Image
Free will is corrupted nature's deformed darling, the Pallas or beloved self-conception of darkened minds
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
The mortification of indwelling sin remaining in our mortal bodies, that it may not have life and power to bring forth the works or deeds of the flesh is the constant duty of believers.
John Owen
Image
Christ by his death destroying the works of the devil, procuring the Spirit for us, hath so killed sin, as to its reign in believers, that it shall not obtain its end and dominion.
John Owen
Image
Fill your affections with the cross of Christ that there may be no room for sin.
