    There is nothing the soul may need that Christ does not provide. John Owen lays it out for us: "There is no man whatever, that hath any want in reference unto the things of God, but Christ will be unto him that which he wants: I speak of those who are given him of his Father. Is he dead? Christ is life. Is he weak? Christ is the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Hath he the sense of guilt upon him? Christ is complete righteousness,—“The LORD our Righteousness.” Many poor creatures are sensible of their wants, but know not where their remedy lies. Indeed, whether it be life or light, power or joy, all is wrapped up in him." Owen, J. (n.d.). The works of John Owen. (W. H. Goold, Ed.) (Vol. 2, p. 52). Edinburgh: T&T Clark.

    pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell,” Col. 1:19; and he received not “the Spirit by measure,” John 3:34. And from this fulness he makes out a suitable supply unto all that are his; “grace for grace,” John 1:16. Had it been given to him by measure, we had exhausted it. (3dly.) His excellency to endear, from his complete suitableness to all the wants of the souls of men.

      Look what just hit prepub. Now we non-Latin-readers can read these: https://www.logos.com/product/28651/the-latin-works-of-john-owen-in-english
      The Latin Works of John Owen, in English (3 vols.)
      John Owen influenced not only Puritan and Reformed theology, but arguably inspired centuries of Protestant theology in every denomination with his discourses and writings. He considered his Theologoumena Pantodapa to be his magnum opus, and yet good English translations are hard to come across. But Logos Bible Software is committed to providing the best resources possible—and, where those are lacking, making new ones available. This volume contains some of John Owen’s most profound and influential theological writings, and our translation is not available anywhere else. While most of it is his Theologoumena Pantodapa—his history of theology from Adam to the present—it also contains his never-before-translated poetry and lectures. Additionally, it contains his work on the sacred authority of Scripture—a fundamental work for the development of early Protestantism.

          “That which the Father and the Son intended to accomplish in and towards all those for whom Christ died, by his death that is most certainly effected . . . but the Father and his Son intended by the death of Christ to redeem, purge, sanctify, purify, deliver from death, Satan, the curse of the law, to quit of all sin, to make righteousness in Christ, to bring nigh unto God, all those for whom he died . . . therefore, Christ died for all and only those in and towards whom all these things recounted are effected.” —John Owen
