I will not judge a person to be spiritually dead whom I have judged formerly to have had spiritual life, though I see him at present in a swoon (faint)as to all evidences of the spiritual life. And the reason why I will not judge him so is this -- because if you judge a person dead, you neglect him, you leave him; but if you judge him in a swoon,(faint) though never so dangerous, you use all means for the retrieving of his life.

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 OwenChrist did not die for any upon condition, if they do believe; but He died for all God's elect, that they should believe.
