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
Our Priorities
If our principal treasure be as we profess, in things spiritual and heavenly, and woe unto us if it be not so! – on them will be our affections, and consequently our desires and thoughts, be principally fixed.
— John Owen
A Minister
A minister may fill his pews, his communion roll, the mouths of the public, but what that minister is on his knees in secret before God Almighty, that he is and no more.
— John Owen
Killing Your Sin
Set faith at work on Christ for the killing of your sin. His blood is the great sovereign remedy for sin-sick souls. Live in this, and you will die a conqueror; yea, you will, through the good providence of God, live to see your lust dead at your feet.
