Quotes (927)
It is not your hold on Christ that saves you; it is Christ. It is not your joy in Christ that saves you; it is Christ. It is not even your faith in Christ, though that be the instrument; it is Christ’s blood and merit. – Charles Spurgeon 1834 – 1892
Quotes (901)
Every time we sin, we do as much as say, “I do not acknowledge God to be my sovereign; I will do as I please.” Each time we speak an ill-word we really say, “My tongue is my own, he is not Lord over my lips.” Yea, and everytime the human heart wandereth after evil, […]
Quotes (893)
Everywhere there is apathy. Nobody cares whether that which is preached is true or false. A sermon is a sermon whatever the subject; only, the shorter the better. – Charles H. Spurgeon 1834 – 1892
Quotes (887)
You do not know, poor soul, how glad God is when He forgives a soul. The angels sang when God made the world, but we do not read that God sang then. Yet, in the last chapter of the prophecy of Zephaniah we read ‘the Lord your God in the midst of you is mighty, […]
Quotes (885)
The world does not object to your being a Christian for a time, if she can but tempt you to cease your pilgrimage and settle down to buy and sell with her in Vanity Fair. The flesh will seek to ensnare you, and to prevent your pressing on to glory. “It is weary work being […]
Quotes (857)
To pretend to trust Christ to save you from sin while you are still determined to continue in it is making a mockery of Christ. – C. H. Spurgeon 1834 – 1892
Quotes (853)
The ladder is long enough to reach from Jacob prostrate on the earth to Jehovah reigning in heaven. To bring another ladder would be to suppose that He failed to bridge the distance, which would grievously dishonor Him. If to add to His words is to draw a curse upon ourselves, what must it be […]
Quotes (849)
To come to Jesus with a price in our hand would be insufferable pride, even if we had any price that we could bring. What does He need from us? What could we bring if He did need it? Would He sell the priceless blessings of His redemption? That which He wrought out in His […]
Quotes (847)
If a commission by an earthly king is considered an honor, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice? – David Livingstone 1813 – 1873
Quotes (837)
The knowledge of God is the great hope of sinners. Oh, if you knew him better, you would fly to him! If you understood how gracious he is, you would seek him. If you could have any idea of his holiness, you would loathe your self-righteousness. If you knew anything of his power, you would […]
Quotes (834)
Jesus said, “Preach the gospel to every creature.” But men are getting tired of the divine plan; they are going to be saved by the priest, going to be saved by the music, going to be saved by theatricals, and nobody knows what! Well, they may try these things as long as ever they like; […]
Quotes (811)
I know very many decent people who seem to have resolved never to come to Christ until they can understand how the doctrine of election is consistent with the free invitation of the Gospel. I might just as well determine never to eat a morsel of bread until it has been explained to me how […]
Quotes (805)
I am told that, years ago above the Falls of Niagra, a boat was upset, and two men were being carried down by the current. Persons on the shore managed to float a rope out to the men, who both seized the rope. One of them held fast to it and was safely drawn to […]
Quotes (787)
The thick pollutions of thine abominable [Roman Catholic] church forbid the idea of descent from any apostle but the traitor Judas. – Charles Spurgeon 1834 – 1892
Quotes (772)
I would not give a penny for your love of truth if it is not accompanied with a hearty hatred of error. – C.H. Spurgeon 1834 – 1892
Quotes (768)
Oh! had I words that I might this morning attempt to depict to you what eternal death is. The soul has come before its Maker; the book has been opened; the sentence has been uttered; “Depart ye cursed” has shaken the universe, and made the very spheres dim with the frown of the Creator; the […]
Quotes (744)
It may seem a harsh sentiment; but he who in his soul believes that man does of his own free-will turn to God, cannot have been taught of God, for that is one of the first principles taught us when God begins with us, that we have neither will nor power, but that He gives […]
Quotes (740)
A false faith can only float in smooth water, but true faith, like a life-boat, is at home in storms. If our religion does not bear us up in time of trial, what is the use of it? If we cannot believe God when our circumstances appear to be against us, we do not believe […]
Quotes (726)
Long ago I ceased to count heads. Truth is usually in the minority in this evil world. – Charles Spurgeon 1834 – 1892
Quotes (679)
The most excellent study for expanding the soul is the science of Christ and Him crucified and the knowledge of the Godhead in the glorious Trinity. – Charles Spurgeon 1834 – 1892
Quotes (618)
But the man Christ can be but in one place, and he is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high. It is absurd, it is horrible, both to faith and to reason, to say that Christ’s body is eaten, and that his blood is drunk in tens of thousands of places wherever […]
Quotes (608)
If a man is so proud that he will not see his faults, he will only quarrel with you for pointing them out. – Charles Spurgeon 1834 – 1892
Quotes (603)
We would as soon worship cats with the Egyptians, as popes with the Romanists: we see no difference between the people whose gods grew in their gardens and the sect whose deity is made by their baker. – C. H. Spurgeon 1834 – 1892
Quotes (582)
If we let passion take the place of judgment, and self-will reign instead of Scriptural authority, we shall fight the Lord’s battles with the devil’s weapons, and if we cut our own fingers we must not be surprised. – Charles Spurgeon 1834 – 1892
Quotes (482)
Scripture is like a lion. Who ever heard of defending a lion? Just turn it loose; it will defend itself. – C.H. Spurgeon 1834 – 1892
Book review: “All of Grace” by Charles Spurgeon.
I just completed this work by Spurgeon (the audio book version) and found it to be a wealth of encouragement for those who wrestle with their assurance of salvation. It was also a deep source of doctrinal truths regarding God’s grace and provision for salvation; helping me to better understand that salvation is all of […]
