Quotes by John Owen
“Be killing sin or it will be killing you.”
“He that hath slight thoughts of sin never had great thoughts of God.”
“Indwelling sin always abides whilst we are in this world; therefore it is always to be mortified.”
“Sin will be always acting, if we be not always mortifying, we are lost creatures.”
“Let not that man think he makes any progress in holiness who walks not over the bellies of his lusts.”
“A man may easier see without eyes, speak without a tongue, than truly mortify one sin without the Spirit.”
“To kill sin is the work of living men; where men are dead, sin is alive, and will live.”
“All other ways of mortification are vain, all helps leave us helpless; it must be done by the Spirit.”
“Let no man think to kill sin with few, easy, or gentle strokes.”
“Sin aims always at the utmost; every time it rises up to tempt or entice, might it have its own course, it would go out the utmost sin in that kind.”
