Text Quotes
...love and pity for hell’s occupants will not enter our hearts.  (J I Packer Quotes) The Life of true holiness is rooted in the soil of awed adoration  (J I Packer Quotes) There are no small sins against a great God  (J I Packer Quotes) God is good to all in some ways and to some in all ways  (J I Packer Quotes) The Holy Spirit is God the evangelist  (J I Packer Quotes) I’m not against technology, but all tools should be used to their best advantage. We should be spending our time on things that have staying power, instead of on the latest thought of the latest blogger - and then moving on quickly to the next blogger  (J I Packer Quotes) Underlying the preaching of the Puritans are three basic axioms: 1. The unique place of preaching is to convert, feed and sustain, 2. The life of the preacher must radiate the reality of what he preaches, 3. Prayer and solid Bible study are basic to effective preaching  (J I Packer Quotes) Revelation does not mean man finding God, but God finding man, God sharing His secrets with us, God showing us Himself. In revelation, God is the agent as well as the object  (J I Packer Quotes) In the New Testament grace means God’s love in action towards men who merited the opposite of love. Grace means God moving heaven and earth to save sinners who could not lift a finger to save themselves  (J I Packer Quotes) The Christian’s instincts of trust and worship are stimulated very powerfully by knowledge of the greatness of God. But this is knowledge which Christians today largely lack: and that is one reason why our faith is so feeble and our worship so flabby... When a person in the church, let alone the person in the street, uses the word God, the thought is rarely of divine majesty  (J I Packer Quotes) God has not abandoned us any more than he abandoned Job. He never abandons anyone on whom he has set his love; nor does Christ, the good shepherd, ever lose track of his sheep  (J I Packer Quotes) What were we made for? To know God. What aim should we have in life? To know God. What is the eternal life that Jesus gives? To know God. What is the best thing in life? To know God. What in humans gives God most pleasure? Knowledge of himself  (J I Packer Quotes) There’s a difference between knowing God and knowing about God. When you truly know God, you have energy to serve Him, boldness to share Him, and contentment in Him  (J I Packer Quotes) What God does in time, He planned from eternity. And all that He planned in eternity He carries out in time  (J I Packer Quotes) What is a Christian? The richest answer I know is that a Christian is one who has God as Father  (J I Packer Quotes) If one preaches the Bible biblically, one cannot help preaching the gospel all the time  (J I Packer Quotes) Have you been holding back from a risky, costly course to which you know in your heart God has called you? Hold back no longer. Your God is faithful to you, and adequate for you. You will never need more than He can supply, and what He supplies, both materially and spiritually, will always be enough for the present  (J I Packer Quotes) The measure of all love is its giving. The measure of the love of God is the cross of Christ  (J I Packer Quotes) My advice to a new husband is nothing more than ‘husbands, love your wives.’ And ‘love your wife as Christ has loved the church.’ Never forget that you are Christ’s representative in serving your wife  (J I Packer Quotes) Joy is a condition that is experienced, but it is more than a feeling; it is, primarily, a state of mind.  (J I Packer Quotes) The saving power of the cross does not depend on faith being addded to it; its saving power is such that faith flows from it  (J I Packer Quotes) Think against your feelings; argue yourself out of the gloom they have spread; look up from your problems to the God of the gospel.  (J I Packer Quotes) God answers the prayer we ought to have made rather than the prayer we did make  (J I Packer Quotes) If we pursue theological knowledge for its own sake, it’s bound to go bad on us. It will make us proud and conceited.  (J I Packer Quotes) The infallibility and inerrancy of biblical teaching does not, however, guarantee the infallibility and inerrancy of any interpretation or interpreter of that teaching; nor does the recognition of its qualities as the Word of God in any way prejudge the issue as to what Scripture does, in fact, assert. This can be determined only by careful Bible study.  (J I Packer Quotes) Christianity has stayed stable, as it must do. The doctrines don’t change. The understanding of what it means to walk with God doesn’t change. The reality of worship doesn’t change, not at heart, anyway. So Christianity appears to be stuck.  (J I Packer Quotes) God uses chronic pain and weakness, along with other afflictions, as his chisel for sculpting our lives.  (J I Packer Quotes) The Church, therefore, has two constant needs; instruction in the truths by which it must live, and correction of the shortcomings by which its life is marred.  (J I Packer Quotes) Fanciful spiritualizing, so far from yielding God’s meaning, actually obscured it. The literal sense is itself the spiritual sense, coming from God and leading to Him.  (J I Packer Quotes) Calvinism is the consistent endeavor to acknowledge the Creator as the Lord, working all things after the counsel of His will.  (J I Packer Quotes)
