Puritan Wisdom


 “He that, having a do acquaintance with the gospel in its excellencies, as to him. A word of mercy, holiness, liberty, and consolation, values it, in all its concernments, as his choicest and only treasure, – makes it his business and the work of his life to give himself up onto it in universal obedience, then especially when opposition and apostasy but the patients of Christ to the utmost, – he shall be preserved from the hour of temptation.” – John Owen, Of Temptation, in The Works of John Owen, Volume 6:  Temptation and Sin, 141.
