Assurance encourateth us in our combat; it delivers us not from it. We may have peace with God when we have done from the assaults of Satan.
John OwenWhen the Holy Spirit sanctifies believers, he does a complete work in them. He puts into their minds, wills and hearts a gracious, supernatural principle which fills them with a holy desire to live to God. The whole life and being of holiness lies in this. This is the new creation.
John OwenThe least grace is a better security for heaven than the greatest gifts or privileges whatsoever.
John OwenThe greatest sorrow and burden you can lay on the Father, the greatest unkindness you can do to him is not to believe that he loves you.
