“If we do glory in the cross of Christ”
― Paul Washer, The Preeminent Christ: God's Beautiful and Unchanging Gospel

“A first look of faith at the gospel saves us, but an ongoing look at the gospel will transform us and conform us in increasing measure to the image of Jesus Christ.”
― Paul Washer, The Preeminent Christ: God's Beautiful and Unchanging Gospel

“Killing sin is the work of the Holy Spirit. By Him alone is it to be done and by no other power will it ever be done.” Trying to kill sin and behave morally through personal strength and efforts using personal tools and techniques is the foundation of all the false religion in the world.”
― John Owen, The Mortification of Sin

“I will excuse from this duty anyone who can make sin give up in its war against him. If sin will spare him grief even one day or in even one spiritual duty – assuming he knows the full reality of the spiritual nature of obedience and the subtlety of sin – then let him take a well-deserved break from the battle. But we know this is something sin will never do. Believers whose souls long to be delivered from the troubling and persistent power of indwelling sin know there is no safety against it except through constant warfare.”
― John Owen, The Mortification of Sin
