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 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 OwenIn or towards whomsoever the Holy Spirit puts forth His power, or acts his grace for their regeneration, he removes all obstacles, overcomes all oppositions, and infallibly produces the intended effect.

John OwenNo wonder if such persons look upon imputed righteousness as the shadow of a dream, who esteem those things which evidence its necessity to be but fond imaginations. And small hope is there to bring such men to value the righteousness of Christ, as imputed to them, who are so unacquainted with their own unrighteousness inherent in them. Until men know themselves better, they will care very little to know Christ at all.
