John Owen Christ Quotations

Christ so loves his people that he sings with joy over them.

All attempts, then, for mortification of any lust, without an interest in Christ, are vain.

Then are we servants of God, then are we the disciples of Christ, when we do what is commanded us and because it is commanded us.

Christ greatly delights in his people and they greatly delight in him

To suppose that whatever God requireth of us that we have power of ourselves to do, is to make the cross and grace of Jesus Christ of none effect.

Unless we are thoroughly convinced that without Christ we are under the eternal curse of God, as the worst of His enemies, we shall never flee to Him for refuge.

There is no death of sin without the death of Christ.

Never was sin seen to be more abominably sinful and full of provocation than when the burden of it was upon the shoulders of the Son of God...Would you, then, see the true demerit of sin?-take the measure of it from the mediation of Christ, especially his cross.

To those to whom Christ is the hope of future glory, he is also the life of present grace.

We can have no power from Christ unless we live in a persuasion that we have none of our own.

We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love.

Christ did not die for any upon condition, if they do believe; but He died for all God's elect, that they should believe.
