“The growth of trees and plants takes place so slowly that it is not easily seen. Daily we notice little change. But, in course of time, we see that a great change has taken place. So it is with grace. Sanctification is a progressive, lifelong work (Prov 4:18). It is an amazing work of God’s grace and it is a work to be prayed for (Rom 8:27).” – John Owen
“I do not understand how a man can be a true believer, in whom sin is not the greatest burden, sorrow and trouble.” -John Owen
