John OwenSatan's greatest success is in making people think they have plenty of time before they die to consider their eternal welfare.
John OwenThe vigour, and power, and comfort of our spiritual life depends on the mortification of the deeds of the flesh...The choicest believers, who are assuredly freed from the condemning power of sin, ought yet to make it their business all their days to mortify the indwelling power of sin...Do you mortify; do you make it your daily work; be always at it whilst you live; cease not a day from this work; be killing sin or it will be killing you.
John OwenThere is no broader way to apostasy than to reject God's sovereignty in all things concerning the revelation of himself and our obedience.
