Communion with God - John Owen

This episode looks at John Owen’s 1657 treatise, which explores the experiential relationship between believers and the Trinity. Owen distinguishes between union with God, a permanent state of grace, and communion, a reciprocal sharing that fluctuates based on the believer’s spiritual health. The text emphasizes that Christians should engage in distinct fellowship with each Person of the Godhead, responding to the Father’s love, the Son’s grace, and the Spirit’s comfort. A central theme is the danger of morbid introspection, urging believers to look outward at God’s unchanging affection rather than inward at their own shifting feelings. Ultimately, the work serves as a devotional guide for maintaining a vibrant, personal connection with the divine.
