J. I. Packer Quotes About Christ

  J. I. Packer

  Love Is, Giving, God Love

• Christ had no interest in gathering vast crowds of professed adherents who would melt away as soon as they found out what following Him actually demanded of them. In our own presentation of Christ's gospel, therefore, we need to lay a similar stress on the cost of following Christ and make sinners face it soberly before we urge them to respond to the message of free forgiveness. In common honesty, we must not conceal the fact that free forgiveness in one sense will cost everything.

  J. I. Packer

  Honesty, Stress, Following Christ

• Dios utiliza el dolor crónico y la debilidad, junto con otras aflicciones, como su cincel para esculpir nuestras vidas. La debilidad sentida profundiza la dependencia de Cristo para fortalecernos cada día. Cuanto más débiles nos sentimos, más nos apoyamos. Y cuanto más nos apoyamos, más fuertes crecemos espiritualmente, incluso mientras nuestros cuerpos se consumen. Vivir con tu "espina" sin quejarte -es decir, dulce, paciente y libre de corazón para amar y ayudar a los demás, aunque cada día te sientas débil- es la verdadera santificación. Es la verdadera curación del espíritu. Es una victoria suprema de la gracia.

  J. I. Packer

  Dulce, Dolor, Curación

• No nos corresponde a nosotros imaginar que podemos probar la verdad del cristianismo con nuestros propios argumentos; nadie puede probar la verdad del cristianismo excepto el Espíritu Santo, por su propia obra todopoderosa de renovar el corazón cegado. Es prerrogativa soberana del Espíritu de Cristo convencer las conciencias de los hombres de la verdad del evangelio de Cristo; y los testigos humanos de Cristo deben aprender a basar sus esperanzas de éxito, no en la inteligente presentación de la verdad por el hombre, sino en la poderosa demostración de la verdad por el Espíritu.

The love of God, the taking of human form by the Son, the meaning of the cross, Christ's heavenly intercession, the way of salvation-all are to be explained in terms of itand any explanation from which the thought of propitiation is missing will be incomplete, and indeed actually misleading, by New Testament standards
