Image
It is evident that you contend against sin merely because of how it troubles you.
John Owen
Image
He that loves works out good to those that he loves, as he is able. God's power and will are equal what He wills He works.
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
A natural man hath no such thing as free-will at all, if you take it for a power of doing that which is good and well-pleasing unto God in things spiritual.
John Owen
Image
Mortification from a self-strength, carried on by ways of self-invention, unto the end of a self-righteousness, is the soul and substance of all false religion in the world.
John Owen
Image
Labour to grow better under all your afflictions, lest your afflictions grow worse, lest God mingle them with more darkness, bitterness and terror.
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
If the Word does not dwell with power in us, it will not pass with power from us.
John Owen
Image
Faith, if it be a living faith, will be a working faith.
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 is the meat, the bread, the food of our souls. Nothing is in him of a higher spiritual nourishment than his love, which we should always desire.
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
When the Holy Spirit sanctifies believers, he does a complete work in them. He puts into their minds, wills and hearts a gracious, supernatural principle which fills them with a holy desire to live to God. The whole life and being of holiness lies in this. This is the new creation.
John Owen
Image
The stronghold of the contemplation of Christ's glory affords the soul rest, for it will be made evident that our troubles grow on the root of an over-valuation of temporal things. The mind is its own greatest troubler.
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
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
Free will is corrupted nature's deformed darling, the Pallas or beloved self-conception of darkened minds
John Owen
Image
The love of God is like himself – equal, constant, not capable of augmentation or diminution our love is like ourselves – unequal, increasing, waning, growing, declining. His, like the sun, always the same in its light, though a cloud may sometimes interpose ours, as the moon, has its enlargements and straightenings.
John Owen
Image
This day was yesterday to-morrow nam'd: To-morrow shall be yesterday proclaimed: To-morrow not yet come, not far away, What shall to-morrow then be call'd? To-day.
John Owen
Image
It is not the glorious battlements, the painted windows, the crouching gargoyles that support a building, but the stones that lie unseen in or upon the earth. It is often those who are despised and trampled on that bear up the weight of a whole nation.
