Communion with God
by John Owen
In this warm and searching treatise, John Owen unfolds how a believer enjoys real, distinct fellowship with each Person of the Trinity: communing with the Father in his free love, with the Son in grace, and with the Holy Spirit in comfort. Far from a dry defense of doctrine, it is a pastoral guide meant to draw the soul into settled assurance and delight in God. This edition is R. J. K. Law's accessible abridgment.
Based on Of Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (1657), Works of John Owen, Vol. 2
From the book
In John Owen's own words
“Communion consists in giving and receiving. Until the love of the Father be received, we have no communion with him therein.”
“Few can carry up their hearts and minds to this height by faith, as to rest their souls in the love of the Father; they live below it, in the troublesome region of hopes and fears, storms and clouds. All here is serene and quiet.”
