More From John Owen

When sin lets us alone we may let sin alone; but as sin is never less quiet than when it seems to be most quiet, and its waters are for the most part deep when they are still, so ought our contrivances against it to be vigorous at all times and in all conditions, even where there is least suspicion.

Faith stands or falls on the truth that the future with god is more satisfying than the one promised by sin. where this truth is embraced and god is cherished above all, the power of sin is broken. the power of sin is the power of deceit. sin has power through promising a false future. in temptation sin comes to us and says: "the future with god on his narrow way is hard and unhappy, but the way i promise is pleasant and satisfying." the power of sin is in the power of this lie.

There is no sin , and there can be no sin on all the earth , which the lord will not forgive to the truly repentant! man cannot commit a sin so great as to exhaust the infinite love of god . can there be a sin which could exceed the love of god?

Just as the largest library, badly arranged, is not so useful as a very moderate one that is well arranged, so the greatest amount of knowledge, if not elaborated by our own thoughts, is worth much less than a far smaller volume that has been abundantly and repeatedly thought over.

I say that they can be solved; there is no problem that cannot be, but faith is necessary. think of the faith i had to have eighteen years ago, a single man on a lonely path. yet i have come to leadership of the german people... life is hard for many, but it is hardest if you are unhappy and have no faith. have faith. nothing can make me change my own belief.

To become christ-like is the only thing in the whole world worth caring for, the thing before which every ambition of man is folly and all lower achievement vain.
