J. I. PackerMen treat God's sovereignty as a theme for controversy, but in Scripture it is matter for worship.
J. I. PackerThere is no peace like the peace of those whose minds are possessed with full assurance that they have known God, and God has known them, and that this relationship guarantees God’s favor to them in life, through death and on for ever.
J. I. PackerWhat God does in time, He planned from eternity. And all that He planned in eternity He carries out in time.
J. I. PackerThere is unspeakable comfort in knowing that God is constantly taking knowledge of me in love and watching over me for my good.
J. I. PackerHave 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
