We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at his unspeakable love.
— John Owen
God’s Judgment
The most tremendous judgment of God in this world is the hardening of the hearts of men.
— John Owen
Blessings
Did you ever run for shelter in a storm, and find fruit which you expected not? Did you never go to God for safeguard, driven by outward storms, and there find unexpected fruit?
— John Owen
God
He that is God can no more cease to be God, by any act of his own, or act upon him, than he that is not God can become God by any act of his own, or any act upon him. Christ could not cease to be God, no more than a worm can make itself God.
— John Owen
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
