J. I. Packer God Quotations

I'm saying that an editorial process that is preparing the material for publication counts as part of the inspiring process whereby God, in his sovereignty, gave every word.

Christianity has stayed stable, as it must do. The doctrines don't change. The understanding of what it means to walk with God doesn't change. The reality of worship doesn't change, not at heart, anyway. So Christianity appears to be stuck.

Our high and privileged calling is to do the will of God in the power of God for the glory of God.

The measure of all love is its giving. The measure of the love of God is the cross of Christ.

For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?

The character of God is today, and always will be, exactly what it was in Bible times.

A little knowledge OF God is worth more than a great deal of knowledge ABOUT him.

You thank God [for your salvation] because "you do not attribute your repenting and believing to your own wisdom, or prudence, or sound judgment, or good sense.

You can know a lot about God and godliness and still not know God.

The peace of God is first and foremost peace with God; it is the state of affairs in which God, instead of being against us, is for us. No account of God's peace which does not start here can do other than mislead.

Nothing can alter the character of God. In the course of a human life, tastes and outlook and temper may change radically: a kind, equable man may turn bitter and crotchety: a man of good-will may grow cynical and callous. But nothing of this sort happens to the Creator. He never becomes less truthful, or merciful, or just, or good, than He used to be.

The peace of God is first and foremost peace with God.
