More quotes by John Owen
There wanted not some beams of light to guide men in the exercise of their Stocastick faculty.
John Owen

John Owen
When we have communion with God in the doctrine we contend for-then shall we be garrisoned by the grace of God against all the assaults of men.
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
Indwelling sin always abides whilst we are in this world therefore it is always to be mortified.
John Owen
I did not hear what I should have listened to.
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
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
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
The seed of every sin is in every heart.
John Owen
In or towards whomsoever the Holy Spirit puts forth His power, or acts his grace for their regeneration, he removes all obstacles, overcomes all oppositions, and infallibly produces the intended effect.
John Owen
That wisdom which cannot teach me that God is love, shall ever pass for folly.
John Owen
