J.I. Packer - On Personal Holiness 

I am watching,73 years of age, 40 plus born again. Thank you,for this site.

Rest peacefully dear sir; on that golden shore, I will look for you!

I came across this man through John MacArthur. Thank you. I love the raw truth. I am being guided through suffering, patience and prayer closer to Jesus, closer to holiness. Amen

It is such a blessing to listen to elders to bring us back into to the perspective we should have with our God

What a beautiful, Godly and blessed elderly statesman. I have not before today heard him speak, but upon my conversion in 1977 I was gifted his mighty book Knowing God. What a blessed life it has been to have been a forthright faithful leader, teacher and writer in the faith. Well done thou good and faithful servant, we look forward to meeting you on that golden shore.

Thank you J.I. Packer. Your words have been a blessing to so many people.

Today is July 19, 2020 May I know if there is someone still watching with me this short video?

This is my introduction to this minister. Keeping pure the gospel. As with the Word... his message is clear. This is refreshing... water from the well... not a stagnant pond.

A tremendous honor and privilege to study at the feet of Dr. J.I. Packer...A man who has devoted his life to his King and Savior. Thank you Trinity School for preserving this teaching in video & audio.

Today is 7th December 2020. This Message is a Cold shower to my soul. What a Man... What a preacher... What a wonderfull God he served!

The 5 principles of holiness (26.00 timestamp) 1. Being is basic to doing. ( You do holy things because of whom God has made you rather than doing things to make you holy) 2. Knowing is basic to acting (Knowing God and having a personal relationship with him is prior to acting out holy) 3. God's work of salvation is completely paid for. ( Living out holy doesn't save you, only Gods grace can save you.)Our retribution has been paid for. God treats as we are, his children. 4. God's works of sanctification is basic to our desire to obey. "Work out you salvationwith fear and holiness for it is God who does it" 5. The purpose of pleasing God is basic to avoiding sin. ( Focus your priority on how to be pleasing to God rather than focusingon sin and avoiding it. When you Focus on Jesus your binding sins will fall away.)

very essential message for 21st century, praise God for his life, may the Lord bless his books & useful to many believers to grew in the word of God.

The message by J.I.packers , is a cry in the wilderness at this period of time. The wonderful 5 examples that gave will touch the Christians around the world. True to his saying that, pleasing God is by living a holy life that separates us from others even if it is meant an egg on the face, isolation etc., I thank God for this wonderful message.

Gone to glory July 22, 1926 - July 17, 2020

Thank you Lord. For the life and example of this godly men.

So few of such caliber of men of God left in the world. I am crying many tears because the false and the worldly run the scene and the children and young people no longer have any good pastors who direct them in the narrow way as disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. He gives streams of living waters to those who are sold out to Him

We so need this message, on a regular basis in our churches throughout the year. It brings us to remind us how very important it is to live holy lives on the basis of Gods holy scriptures. Our witness in this toxic world is to walk like Jesus Christ.

THIS IS TRULY A MAN OF GOD! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH THE WORLD..

A major mentor in my Christian pilgrimage, thank you Dr Packer!

The sound voice of analysis and didactic wisdom, I don’t recall ever hearing JI Packer speak and I’m grateful I heard this particular message of personal holiness since it so reflects the evidence of a redeemed life.

Wonderful teaching by J.I. Packer. I was blessed by Jesus to be taught these principals by my first pastor in 1985 when I came to Christ, who studied the word taught by J.I. Packer from Dallas Theological Seminary - Dallas, TX

I love this man.💞

11 December 2020,just came across this Gentleman while listening to John MC Arthur, from Grace Church.

One of the great Canadian’s! I had the blessing of meeting him while on a break in Vancouver from my studies at Summit Pacific College. His book Concise Theology led me down the road to Anglicanism. Concise Theology was a required text in my Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada college, he is one of my hero’s in the faith from how he stood for orthodoxy even when it meant being defrocked by the heretical diocese of New West Minster.

I cling not any more to my Old self ( I loved myself ) but in repentance , I turn to embrace My Atoning Saviour life as fully mine. I tust Him to change me in all ways , even if I can't recognise my self ...... In Christ I am a New me

"Faith is an embrace." Profound statement.

He has a jolly sense of humor 🤣 he will be missed but when we go home to Jesus we will meet him🙏 God bless Mr Packer in our Lord & Savior.

I don’t know this man but I would love to read his books!

28th July 2020, still watching this amazing video

Oh my goodness!!!! He is delightful!!! Also, great teaching!!!

Today aug 12 /2020 I have listen to him I believe what he has preached every word

Today is August 16, 2020 This message is so relevant to a believers life's journey to practice Holy living!

A blessing to hear

It is sad to see the world in such rebellion to the only true and living God, we who know Him must keep asking Him to raise up labourers and send them in to His harvest. God’s purposes and plans are being fulfilled before our very eyes no matter what is happening. We gain some insight into the times our Lord groaned in the Spirit at what He saw and heard whilst hear. Soon He will return and restore all things and so glorify the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit forever.

God bless you sir the lord has had me in this process for 12 years🙌 we are all a work of art individually between one and the father 💎🔥💕thank you yes!!! Living in the Power everyday! holy Spirit happy here!

This comes direct from Trinity school of Ministry from their page on values and vision. "Welcoming evangelical, charismatic and catholic streams: We welcome students and faculty who long for a Church that is evangelical in faith, catholic in order, and Spirit-driven in mission". For those that have the eyes to see.

What a kind and wonderful man.

A Must: Pen and paper and then study your notes.

One of the greatest Bible teachers of all time! How fortunate the Church has been to have had his abilities for so long in his teaching, books and videos. We have now lost in one year or so, Billy Graham, Ravi Zacharias, R.C. Sproul, Jim Graham and now Jim Packer. Heaven is the richer (however theologically inaccurate that may be!) and we are the poorer. But we fail to follow their example of teaching and preaching at our peril. David Pawson and R T Kendall both have written comparable books on Packer’s theme of Holiness and the Gospel of Righteousness, and how it is so often missing or at least not balanced with the Gospel of Love in our churches today.

Yes, i am watching now, today is 18 Aug 2020

God is the boss of all American people . Always been that

Thank u elder

I can only assume that those who disliked the video were strongly challenged by their own lack of effort in their pursuit of personal, biblical holiness. Either that, or they believe in hyper grace and don’t see a need to live a life in keeping with being a follower of Jesus Christ, or that they are Pharisees who believe they are there already. Another of the 20th Century custodians now at rest. Who will take up the mantle for the Church of the 21st Century?

One thing I've always wished would be pointed out regarding repentance is this. Of course, we all know repentance is a duty. But how many of us also know that, before it is a duty, it is a gift...a gift of opportunity, an open door, an invitation to be freely forgiven. Poor Esau, we are told, sought this gift of opportunity with tears! But, alas, it was too late. How have we allowed Satan to utterly upend the truth on us, to turn truth into a lie, light into darkness, opportunity into a bitter pill that must be swallowed? Why would any fool suppose that God will be pleased to grant forgiveness though we reject repentance? Do we suppose the Prodigal Son's father would have received his son in the same manner had his son returned with his whores and drinking buddies in tow? When John the Baptist preached repentance it was received as Good News that there was still time to repent. His hearers gladly stepped into the Jordan. I should think there was not to be found one disgruntled, begrudging baptizee in the bunch. To the clueless, pagan question: "Have I GOT to repent?" the answer must always be: "For heaven's sake, no! By no means! You GET to repent!" Indeed, no one else is even allowed in the water.

Sanctification process yes good way to describe it 😊🌈🙏

Yes

Profound

J.I.Packer On Personal Holiness ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EDnk-jSz7Z4.html Holiness in a Christian will produce in you: A desire to love God. A desire to please God. A desire to serve God. 1. Being is basic to doing The essence of discipleship is NOT keep doing things. Out of being, comes doing. Being comes FIRST, before you do things. Who are you as a Christian? 2. Knowing is basic to acting Christianity is a matter of doing what you know, what you learn from doctrines what you should do. Until you know what you should do, don't do it. Make sure that you know all you need to know. 3. God's work of saving us underlies God's work in our sanctification Retribution is a basic fact. It has already been afflicted on Jesus. We don't have to face any possibility of condemnation. Hope never stops even though life ends here on earth. 4. God's work of sanctification is the basis to our obedience Philippians 2:12-13, 'Work out your salvation with all reverence for it is God who works in you who makes you will and do according to His good pleasure.' This is a tremendous statement much neglected! 5. The purpose of pleasing God is the basis of avoiding sin The practice of rejoicing, hoping and thanking our God is bigger than avoiding sin. Just avoiding sin is very negative. We have to make sure that we don't fall into the trap of falling into sin. Is this holiness? Please God is the basis of holiness, NOT avoiding sin even though we should avoid sin. The principles are clear. Maintaining these can be invigorating even though you can be isolated. You can be abused or persecuted, like people throwing eggs to your face! Holy living is evangelical, based on the biblical doctrine. Moralistic, therapeutic, deism forms the current world value system that is not based on the Bible. Beware of their influence on your biblical value system. The world value system doesn't talk about grace, the Holy Spirit, or love or the new live. Personal holiness is living out the Gospel, living the transformation of heart. It has to be anti-theatrical against various forces of anti-Christianity. The anti thesis is strong and clear, Christians practising holy living must be strong and united to oppose those who deny the finality of Christianity. The Church is the new people with Christ as the Head. Isolation from church, fellowship can help us? NO, it doesn't help. Isolation from church and fellowship is NOT Holiness! We must be moral even when the society is not. Personal Holiness for our time must be devotional. It must be an expression of love and adoration towards God. That's what we were made for to glorify God, saved for to express what God has saved us for, the fullness of joy in Christian life. I believe these are the keys that are triumphantly different from unbelievers. Conviction and facing Christ as what life has to delivered. It has the power to change us. These are the practical principles of personal holiness. CONCLUSION Revelation 2-3. John deals with 7 congregations. With 5 of them, he finds faults. He deals with them seriously. These faults that we can easily fall if we don't watch out. One church is criticized for leaving its first love. Don't neglect your heart. Keep your heart, rejoicing, loving and hoping. Another is lapse in morality, tolerating the intolerable. It includes sexual behaviours as it is today. Another church is on the verge of yielding to fear. Fear inhibits creative actions of all sorts. Don't indulge in self satisfaction. The apostles had an amazing transformation as that's how they turned the world upside down.

Lo pueden traducir por favor

I guess I may need to watch again. I did catch 5 principles, but I don't recall much, if anything, of practical, boots-on-the-ground instruction for how to be holy. How much holiness, whatever it consists of, is necessary to be saved to eternal life, anyway? From what I see, some people are trying much harder (and with more apparent success) than others to please God. That being said, it seems strange that Packer would have to encourage pastors to focus on personal holiness (I'm not sure what other kind there is). Really, should any Christian with some time in the faith need to be reminded?

I always am disappointed when I hear a preacher correct the Bible with the words...."......a better translation would be......." He did this with Phillipians 4:13. Either the Bible is the very word of God or it is the word of men and can be improved on by men........puzzling?
