A true saving knowledge of sin is to be had only in the Lord Christ: in him may we see the desert of our iniquities.
John OwenTo suppose that whatever God requireth of us that we have power of ourselves to do, is to make the cross and grace of Jesus Christ of none effect.
John OwenIf a man teach uprightly and walk crookedly, more will fall down in the night of his life than he built in the day of his doctrine.
John OwenGod hath work to do in this world; and to desert it because of its difficulties and entanglements, is to cast off His authority. It is not enough that we be just, that we be righteous, and walk with God in holiness; but we must also serve our generation, as David did before he fell asleep. God hath a work to do; and not to help Him is to oppose Him.
John Owen
