More quotes by 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
Nothing shall be lost that is done for God or in obedience to Him.
John Owen
Image
We shall not benefit from reading the Old Testament unless we look for and meditate on the glory of Christ in its pages.
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
If we believe not with faith divine and supernatural, we believe not at all.
John Owen
Image
Fill your affections with the cross of Christ that there may be no room for sin.
John Owen
Image
On Christ’s glory I would fix all my thoughts and desires, and the more I see of the glory of Christ, the more the painted beauties of this world will wither in my eyes and I will be more and more crucified to this world. It will become to me like something dead and putrid, impossible for me to enjoy.
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
The root of an unmortified course is the digestion of sin without bitterness in the heart.
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
Satan's greatest success is in making people think they have plenty of time before they die to consider their eternal welfare.
John Owen
Image
There is only one way to be revived and healed from our backslidings so that we may become fruitful even in old age. We must take a steady look at the glory of Christ in His special character, in His grace and work, as shown to us in the Scripture.
John Owen
Image
Indwelling sin always abides whilst we are in this world therefore it is always to be mortified.
John Owen
Image
Every time we say we believe in the Holy Spirit, we mean we believe that there is a living God able and willing to enter human personality and change it.
John Owen
Image
There is no true gospel fruit without faith and repentance.
John Owen
Image
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
Image
If Scripture has more than one meaning, it has no meaning at all.
John Owen
Image
The gospel shall be victorious. This is the third thing that greatly comforts and refreshes me, — that if God should give me the honour, the strength, and grace to die in this cause, my cause shall be victorious, as sure as if I had the crown in my hand.
John Owen
Image
Men think all things would be very glorious if they might be done according to their mind. Perhaps, indeed, they would-but with their glory, not the glory of God.
John Owen
Image
Faith, if it be a living faith, will be a working faith.
