Knowing about God is crucially important for the living of our lives... Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfolded, as it were, with no sense of direction and no understanding of what surrounds you. This way you can waste your life and lose your soul.
J. I. PackerThe essence of God's action in wrath is to give people what they choose, in all its implications.
J. I. PackerThere are two sorts of sick consciences, those that are not aware enough of sin and those that are not aware enough of pardon.
J. I. PackerAdoption is the highest privilege that the gospel offers: higher even than justification.. . To be right with God the Judge is a great thing, but to be loved and cared for by God the Father is greater.
J. I. PackerGod made us thinking beings, and he guides our minds as we think things out in his presence.
J. I. PackerNothing can alter the character of God. In the course of a human life, tastes and outlook and temper may change radically: a kind, equable man may turn bitter and crotchety: a man of good-will may grow cynical and callous. But nothing of this sort happens to the Creator. He never becomes less truthful, or merciful, or just, or good, than He used to be.
J. I. Packer
