To suffer as a Christian is to suffer for Christ: for the name of Christ, for the truths of Christ, for the ways of Christ, for the worship of Christ.
— John Owen (1616 – 1683)
Discourse 21 on Phil. 3:10, in
Twenty-Five Discourses
He That Loves Not God for Himself
He that loves not God for Himself – that is, for what He is in Himself and what from Himself alone He is and will be to us in Christ (which considerations are inseparable) – hath no true affection for any spiritual thing whatever.
John Owen (1616 – 1683)
from “Golden Book”
Sermons
A sermon is not made with an eye upon the sermon, but with both eyes upon the people and all the heart upon God.
— John Owen (1616-1683)
Signs of Forgiveness
Our forgiving of others will not procure forgiveness for ourselves; but our not forgiving others proves that we ourselves are not forgiven.
John Owen
Faith
True faith can no more be without holiness, than true fire without heat.
— John Owen
