...but let it suffice us to know that it became God, who is the supreme Ruler, Governor and Judge of all that sin should be punished with death in the sinner or his surety; and therefore if God would bring many sons to glory, the Captain of their salvation must undergo sufferings and death, to make satisfaction for them.
John OwenMortification is the soul's vigorous opposition to self, wherein sincerity is most evident.
John OwenWe shall not benefit from reading the Old Testament unless we look for and meditate on the glory of Christ in its pages.
John OwenOn Christโs glory I would fix all my thoughts and desires, and the more I see of the glory of Christ, the more the painted beauties of this world will wither in my eyes and I will be more and more crucified to this world. It will become to me like something dead and putrid, impossible for me to enjoy.
John Owen
